Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 10.5 oz can Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil or cooking spray.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before shredding or chopping into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the vegetables: Steam the broccoli florets and carrots until they are tender-crisp. This usually takes 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and incorporated.
Add the cooked rice, shredded chicken, and steamed vegetables to the mixing bowl. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Tasty Cheesy Chicken and Veggie Casserole!
