    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
