Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Water For cooking rice
  • 2 cups Uncooked Rice
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded Use rotisserie or leftover chicken
  • 1/4 cup Butter For sautéing onions
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 small White Onion, chopped
  • 16 ounces Broccoli pieces Fresh or frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with a little butter or nonstick spray.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions, using the 2 cups of water. Fluff and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • If using fresh broccoli, steam it for 3-4 minutes until just tender. If using frozen, defrost and drain if needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, cooked onion, steamed broccoli, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  • Stir in half the shredded Cheddar cheese. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish, smoothing the top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is golden and melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. This casserole also freezes well.
