Ingredients

4 cups cooked white rice
12 oz. raw broccoli and cauliflower chopped small
2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken chopped
1 white onion chopped (optional)
8 oz. cheddar cheese
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
6 oz. french fried onions

Instructions

Place the cooked white rice, broccoli, cauliflower, rotisserie chicken, optional onion, and ¾ of the shredded cheddar cheese in an OXO Glass 3 Qt Baking Dish. Mix well then add in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix well then sprinkle the remaining cheese on the casserole and all the french fried onions.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place tinfoil on top of the baking dish and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the french fried onions are golden brown. Serve immediately.

Notes

This casserole uses cooked rice - there's not enough liquid to cook raw rice within the casserole. You could also use brown rice if that's your preference.
