Scale

Salt and black pepper to taste
1 packet dry Italian dressing mix

Instructions

Notes

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian dressing mix. Sear until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

In a saucepan, combine cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, and remaining Italian seasoning. Whisk over medium heat until smooth and heated through.

Spread cooked rice evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish. Place seared chicken breasts on top of the rice.

Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and rice, spreading evenly.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and cover with foil.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, then remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
