Spray four 8x8 inch pans with non stick spray. (Or three 8x10 inch pans.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Swanson® Chicken Broth, Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup, Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, vegetables, seasoning and pepper. Stir to combine well. Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Evenly distribute the chicken + rice mixture into the prepared baking pans. Top each evenly with cheese and french fried onions if desired.
If baking now, bake uncovered for about 30 - 40 minutes until hot in the center and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
To freeze, cover the baking pans with a lid or heavy duty aluminum foil. To cook, let the casserole thaw in the refrigerator before baking. Cooking time will be longer; heat until hot in the center.
