Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until translucent (about 3 minutes).
  4. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth until smooth. Return the chicken to the skillet.
  5. Add rice around the chicken, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover tightly and cook for about 20 minutes until rice absorbs all liquid.
  6. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
