Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, And Chicken Casserole
A creamy, cheesy, and hearty casserole layered with tender chicken, fluffy rice, and crisp-tender broccoli—an easy family favorite perfect for busy weeknights.
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups uncooked rice
- 1 can 10 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 can 10 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 small white onion finely chopped
- 16 oz broccoli pieces fresh or frozen, thawed
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice, cover, and cook as directed until tender and fluffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a 9×13-inch pan, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, butter, broccoli, onion, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Spread the mixture evenly and bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until hot and bubbly.
During the last 5 minutes, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake just until melted and gooey.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
