For an even richer flavor, consider adding sautéed sliced mushrooms to the creamy sauce. Adjust the amount of garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg to suit your personal taste preferences. Ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature to prevent foodborne illness. If you don’t have condensed cream of chicken soup, you can substitute with an equal amount of chicken broth mixed with a tablespoon of cornstarch for thickening.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
02
StepIn a saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and the liquid has been fully absorbed (20-25 minutes).
03
StepCook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy (about 10 minutes). Drain on paper towels, reserving the flavorful drippings.
04
StepSeason chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
05
StepMelt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, working in batches if necessary, and cook, turning once, until the centers are no longer pink and the juices run clear (10-12 minutes per batch). Ensure an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and dice into bite-sized pieces, reserving the drippings.
06
StepIn a large saucepan, bring heavy cream, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup to a gentle simmer. Stir in the crispy bacon, reserved bacon drippings, and chicken drippings to create a luscious, flavorful sauce.
07
StepSpread the cooked rice evenly in a thick layer at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the diced chicken over the rice, and then pour the creamy soup mixture evenly over the chicken.
08
StepCover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, approximately 10-15 minutes.
