Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 ½ cooked boneless chicken breasts, shredded, or more to taste
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
¾ cup chopped fresh broccoli
¾ cup chopped mushrooms
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water, chicken broth, and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place shredded chicken in a large casserole dish. Add soup, water chestnuts, Cheddar cheese, broccoli, mushrooms, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then spread the top so it's even.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned and bubbly, 30 to 45 minutes.
