Any casserole recipes like Stouffer's Chicken and Veggie Bake?

I'm thinking about making a casserole in a couple days, with chicken, brocolli, carrots, rice and cheese. I'm hoping to come up with something with a similar taste and texture as Stouffer's "Grandma's Chicken and Vegetable Bake," but with fresher ingredients. Anyone have advice for a good recipe to mimic this dinner? Right now I'm thinking to cook and dice the veggies and chicken, mix in with cooked (basmati) rice, mix with some sauce/mix/cheese/etc (where I need the most help,) and topping it all with crumbled up stove-top stuffing. How do I make the saucey cheesy mixture, and how long should I cook the casserole? I generally never use mayo, ranch, or sour cream, but I might make an exception if the ingredient will texturize without being tasted in the casserole. I'm planning to use cheddar cheese (grated,) but I also have velveeta, mozarella, and a few other cheeses, if they might work better. Someone give me a good recipe for all of these ingredients. Onion and spice are ok, btw
