Description

A comforting and simple chicken and rice casserole perfect for busy nights.


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until they turn lightly browned.
  3. Stir in the uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once it simmers, cover the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. After baking, remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Cover again, allowing it to sit for 5 minutes, until the cheese melts.
