Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until they're slightly thawed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, white rice, chicken broth, milk, cream of chicken soup, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly combine.
Fold the cooked vegetables into the mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
