🧺 Ingredients

For the main dish:

• 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (or 3 cups rotisserie chicken)
• 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown, depending on your preference)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, or your choice)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

For the topping (optional but delicious):

• 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

🍳 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

If you’re not using rotisserie chicken, start by cooking your chicken breasts:

1. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil or butter.
3. Cook the chicken for about 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked through.
4. Shred or cube the chicken and set aside.

Tip: You can also boil or bake the chicken—whatever you prefer. Shredded chicken tends to blend more smoothly into the casserole.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly golden (about 3 minutes).
3. Stir in the frozen vegetables and cook for another 3–5 minutes until they’re just tender.

This step adds layers of flavor and a bit of sweetness from the onions.

Step 3: Mix the Creamy Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• Cream of mushroom soup
• Cream of chicken soup
• Sour cream
• Chicken broth
• Salt, pepper, and paprika

Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This is your rich, comforting sauce that ties the entire dish together.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the cooked rice evenly along the bottom.
3. Add the shredded chicken on top of the rice.
4. Pour the sautéed vegetables and onions evenly over the chicken.
5. Spread the creamy sauce mixture on top, making sure it covers everything.
6. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
