Instructions

  1. 1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
  2. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, the sautéed garlic-butter mixture, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Stir until well incorporated. Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, the dried parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the chicken and rice mixture evenly in the dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  4. 4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden-brown on top.
