Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, dice the chicken into small cubes.
In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp of flour and slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk. Cook this mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens. This should take about 5 minutes.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted. This is your cheese sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, the cheese sauce, diced chicken, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
