Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, lay the chicken breasts at the bottom

- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken

- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the rice, followed by the broccoli florets
- Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes

- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired
Notes
Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking
If you prefer a creamier texture, add an extra 1/4 cup of cream of chicken soup
For added flavor, consider marinating your chicken in garlic and herb seasoning for a few hours before cooking
Feel free to swap out broccoli for other vegetables like spinach, peas, or carrots based on your preference
Leftovers can be reheated on the stove with a splash of chicken broth to maintain moisture
