Description

A hearty and comforting dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in a creamy sauce, served over fluffy rice. This one-pan meal is perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Stir in the uncooked rice.
  • In a baking dish, layer the sautéed onions and bell peppers, then place the browned chicken on top. Pour the soup and rice mixture over the chicken.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Serve and enjoy this comforting meal with your loved ones!

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the soup mixture.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
