Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)

  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)

  • 2 tbsp butter (for breadcrumbs)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine rice, chicken, veggies, soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish and top with shredded cheese.

  • For a crispy topping, melt the butter, mix with breadcrumbs, and sprinkle over the cheese.

  • Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling, and the top is golden.

  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a different twist.

  • Add sautéed mushrooms or diced bell peppers for extra flavor.

  • Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier version.
