Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
Instructions:
Prepare the Casserole:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, chopped onion, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Mix well until combined.
Assemble and Bake:
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil (this helps to cook the rice without peeking).
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Finish and Serve:
After 1 hour, remove the casserole from the oven and carefully take off the foil.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
