Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless, thawed 1 -1 1/4lb chicken
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 Medium white onion, diced small
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz. white button mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cube thawed chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat skillet on stove over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil and once hot, add in chicken pieces. Brown on each side, adding more olive oil if needed and stirring occasionally. Chicken won't cook all of the way, this is just to brown the chicken and get some nice color on each piece. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in pan and sauté onions, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and garlic powder. Stir and cook for ~5 minutes or until onions become translucent and mushrooms are cooked down.
  4. Add the soup and chicken in, stir. Then add in rice, stir. Lastly add in the broth and gently stir. Bring this to a simmer, then turn heat down to low, cover with a lid and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until rice is cooked and tender.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve with broccoli or a side salad - enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitutions: 
  • Use chicken thighs in place of breasts
  • Use cream of chicken in place of cream of mushroom
  • Add a different veggie: carrots, broccoli or bell peppers
