Equipment

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. While the rice is cooking, season the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and sour cream until smooth.
  7. Add the cooked rice, chicken, and mushrooms to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  8. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
