**Chicken Sour Cream Rice**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir until it is well coated with the chicken and sauce mixture.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
6. Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the sour cream, mixing it well with the chicken and rice until everything is creamy and well blended.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve the Chicken Sour Cream Rice hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
