Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked white rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large baking dish, combine uncooked rice and chicken broth. Stir to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.
  • In a bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in the thawed mixed vegetables.
  • Spread the chicken mixture over the rice in the baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the foil, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is crispy and golden.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
