Description
A comforting casserole featuring chicken, rice, and a creamy cheddar sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 (10 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups uncooked Minute Rice
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 3 cups grated cheddar (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
- Add the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to a bowl and stir together until combined.
- Grease a 9×13 casserole dish (I use Pam cooking spray).
- To the casserole dish, add the rice, chicken, veggies, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, scallions, and one cup of the cheddar.
- Pour the soup/broth mixture into the casserole dish, toss until everything is coated thoroughly, and smooth in an even layer.
- Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil or the lid it came with (important so the rice cooks properly!). Bake for 45 minutes.
- Take the casserole dish out of the oven, carefully remove the foil, and top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted and the rice is soft and creamy.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
