1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
1/2 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 cups water
grated cheddar cheese

Use a big enough dish for all chicken to be in single layer

Combine water and mushroom soup, pour over rice
Lie chicken in single layer on top
Sprinkle on thick layer of cheese on top
Place in cold oven, set temp to 350, cook x 90 min
voila!
