Description

If you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, then Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole is the answer. This hearty dish combines tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and fluffy rice all baked in a creamy sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings, this casserole is not only satisfying but also simple to prepare. With just one dish to clean up afterward, it makes meal prep a breeze.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breast

You will need 2 cups of cooked chicken breast. Shredded or diced works best. This lean protein serves as the main ingredient, providing flavor and nutrition to the dish.

Broccoli Florets

Use 2 cups of fresh or frozen broccoli florets. This vegetable adds a pop of color and essential vitamins to your casserole while complementing the other ingredients beautifully.

Long-Grain Rice

Prepare 1 cup of long-grain white rice. The rice absorbs the flavors from the sauce while adding texture. Make sure to cook it according to package instructions before combining it with other ingredients.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

You will need 1 can (10.5 ounces) of cream of mushroom soup. This ingredient acts as the base for your creamy sauce, lending richness and depth of flavor to the entire casserole.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Grab 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. This cheese melts beautifully over the top of the casserole, creating a golden crust that’s both gooey and delicious.

Milk

Use ½ cup of milk to help loosen up the mixture. The milk ensures that your casserole remains moist without being overly rich.

Onion Powder

Add 1 teaspoon of onion powder for seasoning. This spice enhances the overall flavor profile without overpowering the dish.

Garlic Powder

Include 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Like onion powder, garlic powder contributes aromatic flavors that make every bite enjoyable.
