Southern Comfort: Smothered Chicken and Rice

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 can 10.75 oz cream of chicken soup

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C.

3. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Stir in the uncooked rice.
5. In a baking dish, layer the sautéed onions and bell peppers, then place the browned chicken on top. Pour the soup and rice mixture over the chicken.
