Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken, shredded
- 1 cup rice, white, uncooked
- 1 cup cheese, cheddar, shredded
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 can soup, cream of chicken
- 1 can broth, chicken
- 1 cup vegetables, mixed, frozen
Seasonings:
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper, black
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup uncooked white rice, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 can chicken broth, 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, ½ cup diced onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Seal the dish completely with aluminum foil, ensuring no steam can escape during cooking.
- Slide the covered casserole into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 60 minutes without lifting the foil.
- After an hour, carefully remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the hot casserole.
- Cover the dish again with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes, letting the cheese melt and flavors settle before serving.
Notes
- Seal the foil tightly to trap steam and ensure the rice cooks perfectly without drying out.
- Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and to save time on cooking chicken from scratch.
- Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or celery for different flavor profiles if dietary needs require.
- For a gluten-free version, replace regular cream soup with a gluten-free alternative and use cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.
