Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread rice into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over the rice; season with black pepper and salt. Arrange chicken breast halves evenly atop the rice and cheese layers. Dot chicken breasts evenly with rounded teaspoons of cream of chicken soup. Pour 3 cups water over the chicken and finish by sprinkling onion soup mix evenly over everything.
- Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check rice for doneness; if water is already completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup more water to keep mixture moist. Continue baking until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over the dish.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the panko and half of the cheese. Set aside.
- Heat the stock, milk, bay leaf and thyme in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Keep warm while you prepare the vegetables. (You can skip infusing the liquid with the herbs if you like, but it does need to be warmed so it doesn't make lumpy gravy when you add it to the flour.)
- Heat the butter in a large ovenproof and flame-proof casserole or skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the flour and stir to combine. (The mixture will be dry.)
- Remove the bay leaf and thyme from the stock mixture. Whisk the stock into the flour and vegetables. Add the remaining cup of cheese and stir until smooth. Add the rice and stir to combine. Add the sour cream, cayenne and nutmeg; stir until smooth. Place the 6 pieces of chicken in the casserole and snuggle them into the rice. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave until the broccoli is just tender and bright green, about 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Drain the broccoli and keep warm.
- Once the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, remove the casserole from the oven and stir in the broccoli. (It's easiest if you transfer the chicken to a plate first, then stir in the broccoli, then pop the chicken back on top.) Smooth the top and sprinkle with the reserved panko-cheese mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Place the casserole on a rack to cool slightly before serving.

EASY CHEESY FAJITA CHICKEN AND RICE
I came up with this recipe one night while submerged in the depths of a fajita craving. I serve it over white rice with the cheese blend melted down over top. Sometimes I spice things up with a dollop of sour cream; as it melts down over the hot chicken and rice it makes the juice all creamy and delicious.

CROCK-POT CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE
A delicious combination of cheese, chicken, salsa and rice. I created this recipe when I needed to make dinner in the crockpot because my husband was redoing the floors in the kitchen and I had no stove to use. Thanks to him a new chicken recipe was born. I use my homemade canned salsa but any salsa will do. Also, we mostly eat chicken breast, but you can use any type of chicken. The cooking time will need adjusted longer for dark meat or chicken on the bone. There are several variations for this recipe such as adding beans, corn, mushrooms, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Steps:
- 1. Cook rice on stove top according to box directions. When the rice is done pour half of the jar of ragu double cheddar in and mix.
- 2. While the rice is cooking start the chicken. You can bake or fry the chicken. I bake mine. When chicken is done set aside.
- 3. Pour cooked rice into a baking dish. Spread evenly then lay the cooked chicken on top in a row.
- 4. Pour the rest of the ragu cheese on top of the chicken covering the chicken completely then sprinkle shredded cheese and bread crumbs on top.
- 5. Place back into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are cooking. Be sure to follow the package directions.
- Bring the water to a boil: Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Reduce the heat to low: Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. This will help to simmer the rice and allow it to cook evenly.
- Do not stir the rice: Stirring the rice while it is cooking will release the starch and make it gummy. Instead, gently shake the pot from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- Let the rice rest: Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help the rice to absorb any excess moisture and prevent it from becoming sticky.
Conclusion:
Cheesy chicken rice is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
