Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Protein:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup cream cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
Sauce and Liquid:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup butter
- 0.25 cup white wine
Rice and Garnish:
- 2 cups white rice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, ensuring a consistent temperature for even cooking and flavor infusion.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, white wine, and softened cream cheese until smooth and well-combined.
- Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, thoroughly coating each piece for maximum flavor penetration.
- Place prepared chicken in a greased baking dish, creating a single layer to promote uniform cooking.
- Pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring complete coverage and flavor distribution.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese across the top, creating a delectable golden crust during baking.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, maintaining moisture and preventing excessive browning.
- Meanwhile, cook white rice according to package instructions, preparing it to accompany the chicken.
- Remove foil after 25 minutes and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until chicken is golden and thoroughly cooked.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven, allowing flavors to meld and juices to redistribute.
- Slice chicken and serve over prepared rice, generously garnishing with fresh chopped parsley.
- Add small cubes of butter on top for an extra layer of richness and shine.
Notes
- Customize the chicken’s flavor profile by experimenting with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning for a personalized touch.
- Swap traditional white rice with cauliflower rice or quinoa to create a lower-carb or gluten-free alternative that maintains the dish’s creamy essence.
- Prevent dry chicken by using a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F, guaranteeing juicy and safe-to-eat protein.
- Enhance the sauce’s richness by using full-fat cream cheese and adding a splash of heavy cream for an extra luxurious texture and depth of flavor.
