Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

2 cups broccoli florets, steamed

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

2 cups cooked quinoa or rice

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup creamy Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, diced carrots, bell peppers, corn, and cooked quinoa or rice.

      Add the Sauce: Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce over the mixture. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are coated with the sauce.

        Layer the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little olive oil. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

          Cheesy Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a cheesy crust.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden on top.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your homestyle cheesy vegetable and chicken bake warm!
