6 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 3 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.5 cups white rice

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened.

In a large bowl, combine the rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
