Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (10.5 ounces/298 grams) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.5 ounces/298 grams) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8 ounces/227 grams) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups cooked white rice or brown rice
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 (1 ounce/28 grams) packet Italian dressing seasoning mix
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare chicken breasts by generously seasoning with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature, creating a perfect golden-brown sear for the chicken. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until developing a rich, caramelized exterior. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- Introduce minced garlic to the same skillet, releasing its aromatic essence for approximately 30 seconds. Reduce heat and create a luxurious sauce by whisking together cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, white wine, and Italian dressing mix until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently nestle the seared chicken back into the velvety sauce, carefully coating each piece. Cover the skillet and allow the dish to simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, ensuring the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F and absorbs the surrounding flavors.
- Plate the succulent chicken atop a bed of steaming rice, generously drizzling the remaining creamy sauce. Elevate the presentation by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant touch of color and a hint of herbaceous freshness.
Notes
- Achieve golden-brown perfection by patting chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispy exterior and even browning.
- Experiment with low-sodium cream soups to reduce salt intake while maintaining rich, creamy flavor profile.
- Swap white wine with chicken broth or apple juice for alcohol-free version without compromising taste complexity.
- Enhance protein options by substituting chicken with turkey breast or boneless pork chops for variety and dietary preferences.
