Ingredients
- Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Long-Grain White Rice
- Cream of Chicken Soup
- Cream Cheese
- Italian Dressing Mix Packet
- Chicken Broth
- Olive Oil
- Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pot over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken pieces and sear for about 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add uncooked long-grain white rice to the pot and pour in the chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Dollop softened cream cheese over the rice, then pour in the cream of chicken soup, and sprinkle the Italian dressing mix over the top without stirring.
- Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot, nestling them among the creamy layers. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the oven and stir everything together until the cream cheese and soup are fully incorporated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more hot chicken broth and stir until desired consistency is reached. Let it rest for another 5-10 minutes off the heat.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
