- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Place them in a single layer in the baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the uncooked rice over the seasoned chicken.
