Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Place carrots in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; poke holes in wrap to vent. Microwave on High for 1 minute. Drain.
Step 3
Combine chicken, rice and contents of seasoning packet, carrots, mushrooms, onion, peas, and spinach in a bowl. Stir in broth and soup. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.
Step 4
Bake, covered, 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake until hot and bubbling, about 45 more minutes. Top with shredded cheese just before casserole is done.
Cook’s Note:
You can use frozen peas & carrots and skip the microwave step. Actually, you can use any veggies your family likes ? broccoli and zucchini would both work great!
