Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 300 g Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, lightly season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the cooked chicken, blanched broccoli, and cooked white rice into the creamy mixture. Stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the breadcrumbs for a cheesy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken broccoli bake!
