Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
- 3 cups white rice, cooked
- 16 ounces jarred Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the baking dish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked rice, Alfredo sauce, thawed peas and carrots, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and added flavor.
