Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, dry onion soup mix, and milk. Mix well.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken breasts on both sides for about 5 minutes. They do not need to be fully cooked.

- Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the rice in the baking dish.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken and rice, ensuring everything is well covered.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Once done, let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can substitute the chicken with turkey for a different flavor.
