Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts, then season them with half of the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the uncooked rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, the remaining salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
Pour the rice mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam and ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the baking dish to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the rice finish setting.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty Chicken Rice Casserole!
