Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. This creates your creamy chicken sauce.
  3. Stir in the uncooked rice, shredded chicken, and the frozen peas and carrots mix into the soup mixture until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Pour the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, and the rice is tender.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can substitute one can of cream of soup with cream of celery soup.
  • If you prefer a richer dish, use heavy cream instead of milk for added creaminess.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to three days.
