Easy Chicken Rice Casserole

I used 1 cup rice, leftover rotisserie chicken, celery, cream of mushroom soup, 2 cups milk, garlic, peas, cheddar cheese. I found the rice sucked up all the liquid, so a bit dry.

This recipe really needs improvement. It will not be good as it is. This also needs uncooked (raw) white rice. If you use leftover rice from your takeouts then it will be creamy like rice pudding, so reduce or add the liquid according to your preferences. It seems that 350F takes too long to bake raw rice, 375F should be faster. I omitted salt and added 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp black pepper powder, 1 TBS dried onion flakes. It tasted so much better. This recipe needs about 2 lbs raw chicken breast. You can add about 1 lb of vegetables like mushroom, bell pepper, sweet peas. Adjust liquid accordingly if you use frozen vegetables.
