Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your choice of seasonings. In a skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add onions and garlic, cooking until they’re soft. Pour in cream of chicken soup mixed with some water to achieve your desired consistency. Stir well.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

In a large baking dish, spread uncooked rice evenly on the bottom. Place the seared chicken on top and pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken and rice.

Step 5: Bake

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6: Serve

Remove the foil and allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
