Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, rubbing the spices into the chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
- Add softened cream cheese (cut into smaller chunks) to the mixture and blend until creamy using a whisk or electric mixer.
- Fold in uncooked white rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
- Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the seared chicken breasts in the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the creamy rice mixture over the chicken, ensuring it covers evenly. Spread with a spatula if necessary.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and return the casserole to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with fresh parsley garnish if desired, alongside a simple side salad or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spices for a few hours before cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and reheated in the microwave or oven.
