Chicken & Rice

I remember mom making this a lot for Sunday dinner when we were growing up. It was always one of dad's very favorite dinners.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 1/3 c. water
3/4 c. uncooked regular white rice
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Mix soup, water, rice, onion powder and pepper in 2-quart shallow baking dish. Top with chicken and additional pepper. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and rice is done. Top with cheese and leave in oven for 3 – 5 minutes longer until cheese is melted.
