Description

A heartwarming dish of tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy sauce, served over fluffy rice. Perfect for any dinner occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear them in a hot skillet for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, soy sauce, paprika, and thyme.
  5. Place the seared chicken in the baking dish and pour the sauce mixture over the top.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
  7. Serve over the cooked rice and enjoy!

Notes

Use low-sodium options for a healthier dish. Searing the chicken enhances flavor and texture.
