  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the mushroom soup, celery soup, water, rice, mushrooms, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix everything together. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it over the bottom.

  3. 3

    Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the soup mixture and sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over everything. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
