Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 10.5 oz can Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before shredding or chopping into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables: Steam the broccoli florets and carrots until they are tender-crisp. This usually takes 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and incorporated.
Step 5
Add the cooked rice, shredded chicken, and steamed vegetables to the mixing bowl. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients with the sauce.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Tasty Cheesy Chicken and Veggie Casserole!
