Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, 1 cup of uncooked white rice, 3 cups of chicken broth, and 1 cup of Alfredo sauce. Add in ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir all the ingredients together until they're well-coated.
  3. If you're including them, fold in 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots.
  4. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil. Transfer the chicken and rice mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top and add crumbled bacon if desired.
  7. Return the uncovered casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Once finished baking, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
