Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until soft (about 3 minutes).
- In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup with chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Return the chicken to the baking dish, add uncooked rice, and pour the creamy mixture over it evenly.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes or until rice is cooked through. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes for a bubbly top.
