Instructions

Prep your ingredients by washing and chopping the garlic, onion, and bell peppers.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove chicken from the skillet and add onions and bell peppers. Sauté until softened (about 3 minutes).
Stir in chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup until well combined. Allow to bubble.
Fold in long-grain rice and return seared chicken to the skillet, ensuring it's nestled into the sauce.
Cover and reduce heat to low; let simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice absorbs the sauce.
