Ingredients

  • Long-grain white rice
  • Chicken broth
  • Boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Cream of chicken soup
  • Garlic, minced
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Butter
  • Salt, pepper, paprika


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven and prepare a baking dish.
  • Layer uncooked rice at the bottom and pour broth over it.
  • Add cream soup, garlic, and onion; season generously.
  • Place chicken pieces on top and drizzle with melted butter.
  • Cover with foil and bake until rice is tender and chicken is fully cooked.

Notes

  • Use a flavorful broth to avoid a bland casserole. A little parsley or chives on top adds color and freshness. Letting the dish rest helps the rice set properly.
