1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 16.7 ounces green salsa
Pour half of the mixture into the prepared baking pan, and spread it out in an even layer.
Layer in the rice, shredded chicken, olives, and 4 ounces of cheese. Pour the remaining sauce mixture over the top.

Gently stir to combine but don’t overmix or the rice will get gummy.

Serve hot with sliced green onions, sliced olives and sour cream if desired.
