Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or frying pan
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 rice cooker or pot with a lid

Ingredients
  

  • 6 breasts boneless, skinless chicken About 1.5 lbs.
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix 8 oz.
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • Fresh parsley For garnish (optional).

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Italian dressing mix, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup until well mixed.
  • Once the chicken is seared, pour the dressing mixture over the chicken in the skillet, making sure each piece is well-coated.
  • Cover the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  • Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a separate pot or rice cooker, combine the rice and chicken broth. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the cheesy chicken over a bed of rice and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Feel free to add vegetables to the rice, such as peas or bell peppers, for added nutrition and color.
