Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get things heated up.
  2. Make sure your rice is cooked ahead of time. You can use leftovers or make fresh rice according to package instructions.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a greased 9x13 baking dish, layer the cooked rice at the bottom. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice.
  5. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring every piece is coated.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Allow it to cool slightly before garnishing with green onions or parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute proteins or use different types of cheese for a variation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
