Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups Cooked white rice or egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In the same skillet, sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. They don’t need to be fully cooked at this stage. Remove and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
In a large casserole dish, spread the cooked rice or egg noodles evenly as the bottom layer. Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the rice or noodles.
Pour the mushroom soup mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring the sauce covers the chicken and rice evenly.
Add the sautéed mushrooms on top of the casserole and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dish.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
