Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the spices into the chicken for better flavor.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Once done, remove from skillet and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Mixing
- Add the softened cream cheese (cut into smaller chunks) and blend until creamy using a whisk or electric mixer.
- Fold in the uncooked white rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until everything is evenly distributed.
Baking
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the seared chicken breasts at the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the creamy rice mixture over the chicken, ensuring it covers all pieces.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and return the casserole to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
