| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook, covered, for 4 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. |
| 2 | In the same pan, add the cream of chicken soup and milk. Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. |
| 3 | Stir in the rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the pan. Place the cooked chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. |
| 4 | Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Allow the dish to simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the creamy sauce. |

| 6 | Serve the Chicken and Rice Dinner hot, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this simple yet satisfying meal! |
Recipe Notes:
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in your favorite seasoning blend before cooking.
- Feel free to customize this recipe by adding vegetables such as peas, carrots, or broccoli for an extra nutritional boost.
- If using a regular pan instead of a non-stick one, you may need to adjust the amount of oil used to prevent sticking.
