Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Mix well.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked white rice into the sauce mixture until evenly combined.

Step 6

Spread half of the sauce mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the sauce layer.

Step 8

Spread the remaining sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
