Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery)

  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and seasonings.

  3. Stir in the uncooked rice.

  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

  5. Nestle the raw chicken breasts or thighs on top of the rice mixture. Sprinkle with a little extra salt, pepper, and paprika.

  6. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F).

  7. Remove foil, sprinkle with cheese if using, and bake uncovered for another 5–10 minutes until melted.

  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can cut chicken into chunks before baking for easier serving.

  • Add frozen peas or broccoli for a veggie boost—just stir them in before baking.

  • Brown rice can be used, but increase the liquid and bake time accordingly (about 90 minutes total).
