Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup wild rice blend
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine sautéed vegetables, cooked wild rice blend, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  5. Place seared chicken in the prepared baking dish and top with the rice mixture.
  6. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes; remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until bubbly.
