1. Preheat Oven
Set the oven to 320°F (160°C).
2. Prepare Casserole Dish
Lightly grease your casserole dish to prevent sticking.

Evenly spread 1 cup of raw rice on the bottom of the dish. Arrange the chicken breasts on top, followed by the chopped onion. If desired, add mushrooms and spinach as additional layers.

In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble Casserole
Pour the sauce evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is covered.
6. Bake
