Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Prepare the Rice Base: Spread the uncooked rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  • Mix the Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Assemble the Casserole: Pour half of the sauce mixture over the rice, spreading it evenly. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the rice and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.
  • Add Cheese and Butter: Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the casserole, then drizzle the melted butter on top.
  • Cover and Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rice is tender.
  • Garnish and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
