Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups white rice (cooked)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 as needed olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli, and cooked rice.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, broccoli, and rice. Mix well to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the surface.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Savory Chicken and Broccoli Casserole!
