Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp salt

- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and sear them in a hot skillet for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes.
