Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, uncooked rice, chicken broth, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  3. Stir in frozen peas and carrots if using.
  4. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Notes

Make sure the rice is fully submerged in liquid before baking. For extra creaminess, stir the casserole once halfway through baking before re-covering with foil.
