1 cup long grain white rice
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix rice, soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Pour the rice mixture into the baking dish and place the chicken breasts on top.
4. Dot the chicken with butter.
5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
6. Remove foil, top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake uncovered for 15-20 more minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Use long grain white rice to ensure proper cooking.
Don’t skip covering with foil—this helps the rice steam and cook through.
Fresh parsley adds brightness—chives or green onion can also work well.
