In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, corn kernels, diced bell peppers, cooked rice, and creamy cheese. Mix until everything is evenly blended.
Sprinkle in the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are distributed throughout the mixture.
Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish lightly with oil or non-stick spray. Spoon the chicken and corn mixture evenly into the dish.
Top with the shredded cheese, spreading it out so the entire surface is covered.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and has a light golden tint.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes to set.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped green onions before slicing and serving.
Serve hot. Enjoy the comforting flavors and creamy texture!
Notes
For extra creaminess, add a few tablespoons of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt along with the sour cream or cream cheese.
