  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
  5. Add the uncooked rice, shredded chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, and half of the cheddar cheese to the mixture. Stir everything together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and bubble.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
