Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup white rice
• 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
• 1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the white rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

Pour the rice and soup mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Sprinkle paprika over the chicken for added flavor and color.

Step 7

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to ensure the rice cooks evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully remove the aluminum foil and check the chicken and rice. If needed, continue cooking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

If adding cheese, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dish during the last 5 minutes of cooking, then return to the oven uncovered until melted.

Step 11

Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Chicken with Rice Casserole!
