2 cups cooked and shredded chicken You can use leftover turkey as a substitute.
1 cup rice White or brown rice can be used.
1 can cream of mushroom soup Any creamy soup works, including chicken or broccoli.
2 cups frozen veggies Broccoli or peas are good options.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to add more cheese for extra creaminess.

Optional Spices

1 teaspoon garlic powder Add as desired for flavor.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, rice, cream of mushroom soup, and frozen veggies.
Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish.
Top it with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

Baking

Cover the casserole with foil and bake for about 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through. For a vegetarian twist, substitute chicken with canned beans or chickpeas.
