Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large White or yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 cups Cooked white rice
• 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 5 minutes, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, chopped chicken, sautéed onion and garlic, artichoke hearts, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, parmesan cheese, chicken broth, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden spots.

Step 9

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Artichoke Rice Casserole!
