Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°F). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add condensed soup, broth, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to the prepared dish. Whisk together until completely combined.
  2. Stir in the uncooked rice, chicken, zucchini, and 1 cup of the grated cheese.
  3. Cover tightly and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Use a fork to stir and fluff the rice.
  4. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of grated cheese. Place the dish under the broiler for a couple of minutes, just until the cheese melts.
  5. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The total cooking time will vary based on a number of factors, including the type of pan that you use and your individual oven. Glass or ceramic baking dishes will take longer than metal pans, for instance. To know when your casserole is done, taste a bite of the rice. The rice should be tender and most of the liquid should be absorbed.
