A creamy and comforting Cheesy Chicken & Rice Meal Prep dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or batch cooking.

  • Total Time: 45
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

πŸ₯„ 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
πŸ₯„ 2 cups chicken broth
πŸ₯„ 1 cup milk or heavy cream
πŸ₯„ Β½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Colby Jack)
πŸ₯„ 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

Instructions

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove excess starch.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Add the uncooked rice to the boiling broth and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ While the rice is cooking, warm the cream of chicken soup in a separate saucepan or microwave until it’s hot but not boiling.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Once the rice is cooked, stir in the milk or heavy cream and the shredded cheese.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Continue to stir until the cheese has fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Remove the pot from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Serve immediately or transfer to individual containers for meal prep storage.
