Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 3 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided use)
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or nonstick spray (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
If using fresh broccoli, blanch the florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and set aside. (Skip this step if using frozen broccoli.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, milk, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
