1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Stir until well blended.
Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, dried parsley flakes, black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Fold in the shredded cooked chicken and thawed frozen peas and carrots until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
