3
Pour in both cans of creamy chicken mushroom soup, the can of tomatoes with green chilies (including liquid), and the ½ can of water, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix thoroughly, and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is nearly tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
