Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

  6. Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. In a separate pot, cook the rice according to package instructions.
  8. Spread the cooked rice in the bottom of a baking dish. Pour the cheesy chicken mixture over the rice.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
