Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Mix until smooth.
  6. Add the softened cream cheese and blend until creamy.
  7. Fold in the uncooked rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
Baking
  1. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and place the seared chicken in the bottom.
  2. Pour the creamy rice mixture over the chicken evenly.
  3. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  4. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  5. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate chicken in olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon juice for an hour before cooking. Add vegetables like peas or bell peppers for a twist. For a crispy topping, sprinkle crushed crackers or breadcrumbs with butter during the last 10 minutes.
