Cooking Directions

  1. 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.

  2. While rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. Place shredded chicken in a large casserole dish. Add cooked rice, soup, water chestnuts, Cheddar cheese, broccoli, mushrooms, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then spread the top so it’s even.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned and bubbly, 30 to 45 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

Cream of celery or chicken soup works too.

You can use any kind of shredded cheese you like.

I make this dish without chicken (and chicken broth) for my vegetarian friends. Just add more veggies.
