Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 3 slices soft white bread, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip, cover again, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer cooled chicken to a 7x11-inch baking dish. Stir in rice and condensed soup until well combined. Sprinkle Cheddar over top, then bread cubes.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly and bread cubes are toasted, about 20 minutes.
