Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a little butter.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the chicken breasts until fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove from water, let cool slightly, and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked onion and garlic, sweet corn kernels, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, then stir in the breadcrumbs until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken and Corn Bake!
