For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the slivered almonds lightly before adding them to the sauce. Feel free to substitute other types of soup, such as cream of mushroom or cream of chicken, based on your preference. If you're watching your sodium intake, use low-sodium ranch dressing and soup. To prevent the potato chips from burning, you can add them during the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepSpread bread crumbs into a wide, shallow bowl. Press chicken breast halves into bread crumbs to coat thoroughly. Gently pat chicken to remove any loose crumbs. Place coated breasts onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack. (10 minutes)
03
StepHeat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil to brown completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side. (15 minutes)
04
StepSpread rice evenly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange browned chicken breasts atop the rice. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a bowl, mix together ranch dressing, cream of celery soup, mozzarella cheese, and slivered almonds. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and rice, ensuring the chicken is completely covered. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the ranch dressing mixture and then generously top with crushed potato chips. (10 minutes)
06
StepBake in preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (40 minutes)
07
StepLet cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
