Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice

  • 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  4. Add the cooked chicken to the rice mixture and stir to combine.

  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
