Description

A simple baked casserole combining cooked chicken, broccoli, rice, and a creamy cheese sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets, cooked until tender-crisp
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, milk, 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cooked chicken, cooked rice, and cooked broccoli until all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it well before adding it to the mixture to prevent excess liquid in the casserole.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup if desired.
