Ingredients
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooked rice, cooked chicken, chopped onion, and 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed buttery crackers evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
