Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, uncooked white rice, chicken broth, and Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until the rice is coated and all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. For added nutrition and color, stir in the frozen peas and carrots. If using fresh veggies, adjust cooking times accordingly.
  4. Gently pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly across the bottom.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Return the casserole to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. After baking, allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes. Finish off by sprinkling fresh parsley on top.
