Ingredients You Need to make Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole
To make the best chicken and rice and broccoli casserole, here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 chicken breasts, halved and diced
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans of cream of chicken soup
- 12 oz frozen broccoli (cooked)
- 1 cup milk
Optional Add-Ons:
- Shredded cheddar cheese 🧀 (for that extra cheesy top layer!).
- Parmesan cheese (a.k.a. “shaky cheese” for the kids 😄).
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by prepping your rice and chicken.
Cook Rice – Bring 4 cups of water to boil, add rice, and cover. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir and fluff the rice once done.
Prepare Chicken – While the rice rests, heat up a skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Add your diced chicken and cook until the pieces are golden and cooked through.
Combine the Magic
Grab a large mixing bowl (or go straight into your casserole dish for fewer dishes). Add in the rice, cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, and broccoli.
💡 Pro Tip—If the mixture feels a little dry, add more milk to keep it creamy!
Stir everything until well blended.
Get Cheesy
Optional but HIGHLY recommended - top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese for that melty, golden-brown finish!
Bake Your Cheesy Chicken Casserole to Perfection
Cover your casserole dish with aluminum foil to keep everything moist. Pop it into a preheated oven at 350°F (if not freezing) and bake for 20-30 minutes. Once it's bubbling and golden on top, you’re ready to dig in!
Serving Suggestions
This chicken broccoli rice and cheese casserole pairs perfectly with a fresh side salad or a warm dinner roll. For extra fun, sprinkle grated parmesan (a.k.a. shaky cheese) on top—your kids (and inner child) will thank you!
