Yield 4
Number Of Ingredients 9
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.

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.

Steps:
- In a bowl mix together the soup with Worcestershire sauce and evaporated milk until well combined.
- Mix in the shredded cheese; set aside.
- Season the chicken breast with seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the chicken breasts and cook for about 3 minutes on both sides or until nicely browned; remove to a plate.
- To the same skillet add in the onion and saute for about 3 minutes.
- Add in fresh garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then add in the mushrooms.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the mushroom soup mixture over.
- Lift the chicken with a fork to coat in the sauce.

- Season the sauce with more salt if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your dish, so don't skimp on quality. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken won't cook evenly and the cheese won't melt properly. Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken all the way through: This is important for both safety and flavor. Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the pan.
- Use a variety of toppings: In addition to cheese, you can add a variety of other toppings to your cheesy chicken, such as cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, diced tomatoes, or sliced mushrooms.
- Serve immediately: Cheesy chicken is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

Cheesy chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a more special occasion. With so many different ways to make it, you're sure to find a cheesy chicken recipe that you'll love.
