Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 0.5 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 ½ cups 0.37 lb uncooked white rice (or brown rice)
  • 3 cups 0.75 lb broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 can 10.5 oz / 0.65 lb condensed cream of chicken soup (or homemade)
  • 1 ½ cups 0.36 L chicken broth
  • 1 cup 0.25 lb shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup 0.12 lb sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon 0.05 lb butter or olive oil (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Prepare the Casserole

  • In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the uncooked rice, chicken, and broccoli florets to the mixture and stir to combine.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 4: Add Cheese and Finish Baking

  • Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top, and return the dish to the oven.
  • Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cheese or parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Freeze the unbaked casserole for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed.
  • Variations: Use rotisserie chicken or swap chicken for turkey. Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor.
