Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, uncooked white rice, chicken broth, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Stir in frozen peas and carrots if using.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the mixture in evenly.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, and bake uncovered for 10–15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
For extra richness, stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan before baking. If the rice isn’t fully cooked at 45 minutes, re-cover and bake an additional 5–10 minutes.
