Description

A cozy weeknight dinner featuring tender chicken, creamy rice, and mixed vegetables that is ready in no time.

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup long-grain rice
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet. Brown on each side for 4-5 minutes until golden, then remove and set aside.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Pour in the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth, mixing well.
5. Return the browned chicken to the skillet and add the frozen mixed vegetables on top.
6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked to 165°F.
7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

This dish can be served with garlic bread, steamed broccoli, side salad, roasted sweet potatoes, or quinoa.
