Steps:
- 1. Combine chicken, broccoli and rice in an ovenproof casserole dish. Toss to mix.
- 2. To make the roux: melt the butter in a medium size saucepan. Add the cornstarch and blend thoroughly. While blending, add the milk and seasonings.

- 3. Pour the sauce over the chicken/broccoli/rice mixture. Top with gluten free bread crumbs.
- 4. Bake in pre-heated 350 F oven, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes (depending upon your oven). Remove from oven and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook broccoli according to directions on package.
- Drain well.
- Add other ingredients.
- Mix well, put in casserole, cover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best texture, use a combination of brown and white rice. White rice will help the casserole to be creamier, while brown rice will add a nutty flavor and more texture.
- If you don't have any cooked rice on hand, you can easily make some by following the instructions on the package. Just be sure to cook the rice until it is al dente, or slightly undercooked, as it will continue to cook in the casserole.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini. You can also add a protein, such as cooked chicken or shrimp.
- If you want a cheesy casserole, sprinkle some shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top before baking.
- If you want to make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When you're ready to bake it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
