Scale

  • 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can (10.5 oz / 295 g) cream of chicken soup
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm your choice of olive oil or butter.
  2. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
