Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup (condensed)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes per side until no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well.
Dice the yellow onion and sauté in the same skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, sautéed onions, and cooked chicken pieces. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Onion Casserole!
