Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, mixing everything thoroughly. Adjust seasonings as necessary.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, until the rice is tender and the top is golden brown.
Optionally, turn on the broiler for the last 3–5 minutes for extra crispiness.
