3. Spread the uncooked rice evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4. Pour the soup mixture over the rice and stir gently to coat all the grains.
5. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the rice and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45–55 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

8. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the rice to absorb remaining sauce.
