Ingredients

If the chicken breast is thick, it can be cut in half lengthwise using a butterfly method, see the notes.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the rosemary and maple syrup. Set aside.
In a 9 x 13 baking dish, pour rice and water in to cover the bottom of the dish. Then, mix the cream soup in with the rice and water. Place chicken breast on top of the rice mixture, then pour the maple syrup mixture over the chicken.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until the liquid is soaked into the rice. Typically the rice will need to be stirred a bit toward the end of the cooking time to soak up some of the liquid. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F.
When checking in on the dish if it looks dry, add another 1/2 cup water or broth if needed.
Carefully remove and serve the chicken with the rice.
