Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the panko breadcrumbs until well coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole, then top with the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Testament Chicken Rice Casserole!
