Evenly place the chicken pieces on top of the rice.
Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken.
Pour remaining soup mixture over chicken and rice. Be sure the rice is completely covered.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

If you're not keen on using that much condensed canned stuff in a recipe, we have created two delicious homemade versions of Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom Soups. They're super easy to make, and taste much richer and fresher and have way less sodium than those canned brands.
For the other canned soups called for, you can opt for low sodium options, which still taste delicious.
As great as it tastes, the best part of this chicken casserole is the clean up. The foil lining that keeps the moisture in so the rice cooks can be removed after serving and the baking dish needs little to no cleaning, scrubbing, or soaking.
