Ingredients:
2 cups cooked white rice
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, cheddar cheese, sautéed onion, garlic, and cooked chicken. Stir in the paprika, black pepper, salt, and frozen peas (if using).
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
