Lightly spray a 9x13" casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, frozen onion and bell pepper, tomatoes with chilies, chicken broth, fajita seasoning, and about half of the cheese. Mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. Cover with tin foil and bake in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover, sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and bake another 10 minutes.

Lazy Chicken Pot Pie
2-cans of cream of chicken
2 12oz -cans of chicken (or could shred your own)
1 12oz -bag of frozen peas and carrots
1 tsp -garlic powder
1 tsp- onion powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix chicken, cream of chicken, veggies and seasoning in baking dish.
Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until bubbling.
Open crescent dough and flatten out on top of cooked mixture in the pan and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
P.S- This was 1 year old approved by my son. So that’s also a win. 😂💕 Hope your family enjoys it too.

The McCrib... Homemade McRib..1 Banquet Backyard BBQ Meal.. 1 Deli Roll.. lightly toasted in a skillet. 2 Kroger Fastfood Style Pickles.. they nailed it, and some sliced onion.
I bought BBQ sauce, but the sauce the rib patty is packed in is tasty and I kept it. Roughly $2.25 a sandwich. 1/2 of what McDonald's charges and fun to make at home.
