Creamy Almond Chicken Bake Recipe

Name: Creamy Almond Chicken Bake
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: bread crumbs; 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves; 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste; 2 cups cooked white rice; 2 cups ranch dressing; 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; 1/2 cup slivered almonds; 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese; 1 cup crushed potato chips, or to taste

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Spread bread crumbs into a wide, shallow bowl. Press chicken breast halves into bread crumbs to coat. Gently pat chicken to let any loose crumbs fall away. Place coated breasts onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil to brown completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
4
Spread rice into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange browned chicken breasts atop the rice.
5
Mix ranch dressing, celery soup, mozzarella cheese, and almonds together in a bowl; pour over the chicken and rice, assuring the chicken is covered completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the ranch dressing mixture and top with crushed potato chips.
6
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
