First cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cream cheese, butter and chicken broth are whisk together. Then cooked chicken, uncooked orzo, garlic, Italian dressing mix and cheddar cheese are added to the mixture. Next everything is added to a casserole dish. More shredded cheese is added to the top before covering with foil and baking. The casserole is baked until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly. This casserole isn’t the prettiest dish, but is very tasty!
