- 3 cups White or brown rice, cooked
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes if using fresh broccoli. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooked shredded chicken, broccoli florets, and cooked rice to the mixing bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting Chicken Rice Divan Bake with a side salad or crusty bread.
