Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Dice the bell peppers and carrots into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced peppers and carrots for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken pieces, sautéed vegetables, rice, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and chicken broth. Stir until everything is well mixed and the cheeses are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the top to get golden and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy chicken and rice bake!
