Description

A comforting and easy-to-make casserole featuring moist chicken, fluffy rice, and vibrant mixed vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, uncooked rice, frozen vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, as well as salt and pepper.
  3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until everything is coated in the creamy soup, ensuring the rice and vegetables are evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Once done, let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken is evenly shredded for better mixing. Skipping the broth can lead to dry rice.
