Colorful Chicken Casserole

Colorful Chicken Casserole Created by chance, April 2025 to use up leftover rice, beccause I do not know how to make a small amount of rice. 3-4 cups leftover rice About 12 ounces chopped, cooked chicken ½ - 1 cup chicken broth 1 16 oz. bag mixed vegetables 1 teaspoon Fines Herbes* divided ½ teaspoon rosemary divided ½ teaspoon thyme, divided ½ teaspoon granulated onion 1 can cream of chicken soup ½ - 1 cup grated Swiss cheese Cook vegetables to gender crisp with ½ tsp Fines Herbes, ¼ tsp rosemary, ¼ tsp thyme. Drain vegetables and mix with leftover rice. Add remaining herbs (which can be adjusted to taste), chicken, broth, cream of chicken soup and Swiss cheese. Mix to combine. Refrigerate if making ahead. Bake casserole tightly covered at 350 foor about 40 minutes if baking right after mixing, or about 1 hour if baking from refrigeration. This is easy to make in the morning and pop in the oven when you are too tired to cook dinner later in the day. *Fines Heerbes is a spice blend of chervil, minced parsley flakes, chopped chives and French tarragon.
