Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  4. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  5. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and stir the casserole.
  6. Pour the milk over the top, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
  7. Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For deeper flavor, sauté vegetables in olive oil before adding them to the casserole. If the casserole ends up too dry, add extra chicken broth or milk to keep it creamy.
