Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 3 cups white rice, cooked
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, and then shred into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly (about 3 minutes). Season with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, frozen mixed vegetables, shredded chicken, and cooked rice. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy Chicken Casserole Supreme!
