Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 cups white or brown rice, cooked
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets and sliced carrots for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, blanched broccoli and carrots, corn kernels, cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the casserole are golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
