Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but not fully cooked. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Mix well.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked white rice into the sauce mixture until evenly combined.
Spread half of the sauce mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the sauce layer.
Spread the remaining sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is fully covered.
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the topping is golden and crispy.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
