9×13 Baking Dish
Chicken breast – slice the chicken in half lengthwise to ensure it cooks along with the rice.
Soup– cheddar broccoli soup and cream of chicken soup. This makes the rice SO deliciously creamy!
Instant rice– use brown or white rice. If you want to use long grain rice, use 3/4 cup and add an extra cup of chicken stock.
Chicken stock – or vegetable
Frozen broccoli – no need to thaw! If you don’t like broccoli, you can use mixed vegetables or green beans
Seasonings– mustard powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika
Cheddar cheese, shredded

How to make it

Preheat oven to 350°F

Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally.

Spray your baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Add rice, cream of chicken soup, broccoli cheddar soup, and chicken broth to a 9×13 baking dish and mix together.

Next, add the frozen broccoli on top and lay the chicken on top after the broccoli. Nestle the chicken into the rice.

Sprinkle the seasonings all over the dish.

Cover tightly in foil and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked and the rice is tender.

Uncover the baking dish. Fluff the rice and mix it around.

Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken and place back into the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
