1 cup frozen peas and carrots

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Non-stick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the dish)

Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

🔹 Step 2: Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the following:

  • Shredded rotisserie chicken

  • Uncooked white rice

  • Chicken broth

  • Alfredo sauce

  • Frozen peas and carrots

  • Garlic powder

  • Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

🔹 Step 3: Transfer to Baking Dish

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Pour the chicken and rice mixture into the dish and spread evenly.

🔹 Step 4: Cover and Bake

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

🔹 Step 5: Add Cheese and Bacon

Remove the foil. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and crumbled turkey bacon over the top.

🔹 Step 6: Finish Baking

Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

🔹 Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Rice Tip: Use long-grain or jasmine rice—avoid instant or quick-cooking varieties.

  • Broth: Make sure the chicken broth covers all dry ingredients to ensure even rice cooking.

  • Creamier Option: Stir in 2 tbsp cream cheese before baking for extra richness.

  • Extra Veggies: Add chopped broccoli, mushrooms, or spinach if desired.

  • Make Ahead: Assemble the dish a day ahead and refrigerate. Bake when ready.

  • Freezer Friendly: Freeze assembled (uncooked) dish tightly covered. Thaw overnight in fridge before baking.
