Description

Indulge in this creamy, savory dish featuring tender chicken smothered in rich gravy over fluffy rice—a comforting meal perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear seasoned chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté until fragrant and translucent.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup, stirring gently to create a sauce that covers the chicken halfway.
  5. Add uncooked rice to the skillet, ensuring it's submerged in the liquid. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Cover tightly and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice absorbs liquid and chicken is cooked through.
