Description
A comforting casserole made with chicken, rice, broccoli, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
- 10 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into cubes)
- 10–12 ounces frozen broccoli florets
- 2 cups shredded cheddar (sharp or medium)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a Dutch oven, 9×13″ baking dish, or other casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ground nutmeg (if using), and cream of chicken soup. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add rice and chicken pieces to the prepared dish/pan, then pour the broth mixture over them. Add the frozen broccoli florets. Give everything a little stir to combine.
- Cover the pan/dish with a lid or foil, then bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until rice is tender, chicken is cooked through, and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese, then return to the oven (uncovered) for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish can be made with homemade cream of chicken soup if preferred.
- To make it healthier, consider adding other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers.
