Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Mix the Casserole
In a large bowl, combine soups, broth, rice, onion, garlic powder, pepper, and optional veggies. Stir in the cooked chicken and 1 cup of cheese.
3. Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
4. Add Cheese and Finish
Remove foil, sprinkle with additional cheese, and return to the oven uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
5. Serve
Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side salad or crusty bread.
