A delightful and easy-to-make rice casserole with a creamy and cheesy twist, perfect for a quick meal.
Combine the rice, chicken broth, and garlic powder in a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish.
Ensure the dish is microwave-safe to avoid accidents.
Cover the dish tightly and microwave on high for 9-10 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check the rice halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Stir in half of the cheddar cheese, the sour cream, and the green chilies into the cooked rice.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Cover the dish again and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through.
Let it rest for a minute after microwaving to allow the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, cover, and let stand for about 4 minutes until the cheese is melted.
For a golden crust, you can broil the dish briefly instead of letting it stand.
Serve the casserole warm and enjoy!
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
