- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas and carrots)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, mix uncooked rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion powder, garlic powder, frozen vegetables, and pepper until well combined.
