A comforting Chicken and Rice Casserole that’s easy to prepare and perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine cooked rice, shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Fold in the frozen mixed vegetables.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the casserole.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and great flavor. Adding chicken broth keeps the rice moist.
