BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole image

This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.

CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Chicken Broccoli Rice and Cheese Casserole image

3/18/13. I've updated this recipe to include alternate choices for the canned chicken the original recipe called for. Lately, I've been using store bought rotisserie chicken. I've seen a lot of recipes for broccoli, cheese and rice casseroles. However, this takes it from a side dish to a main meal casserole. It fills up the sink with dirty dishes, but that is the only draw back. You can make umpteen variations to customize the taste to your liking. I will offer substitution possibilities in the instructions.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole image

This casserole is super satisfying and creamy and uses a great trick to cut out extra butter and oil: Instead of making the traditional roux with butter, the cream sauce is thickened with a little flour.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
4 cups medium broccoli florets
Cooking spray
3 cups frozen brown rice, thawed
1 rotisserie chicken, skinned, white and dark meat shredded (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the flour and broth into a large saucepan and whisk until the flour is dissolved. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil; continue to whisk until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the Cheddar and whisk until melted. Add the broccoli florets and stir to coat.
  • Spray a 3-quart flameproof casserole dish with cooking spray. Toss the brown rice and chicken in a large bowl. Pour the broccoli-cheese sauce on top and mix well. Spread the mixture in the casserole dish and top with the Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake until bubbling and hot, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil until the top is nicely browned, 2 to 5 minutes Serve hot.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze the baked casserole for up to 2 weeks. Cover in foil and reheat at 350 degrees F until hot, 35 to 45 minutes.

Provided by HokiesMom

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 1 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets (petite size)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can low-fat cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 -1 1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
2 -4 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Parboil the broccoli florets until still crisp-tender and then drain well.
  • Place the prepared broccoli in a 9x13 inch baking dish (or at least a 3 quart casserole dish).
  • In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix together the soup, milk and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
  • Pour soup mixture over the broccoli and spread evenly.
  • *Optional* Sprinkle more shredded cheese over the top of the soup mixture.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan then add breadcrumbs and mix together. The breadcrumbs should be lightly coated - use an amount that fits your needs.
  • Spread breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole to cover.

  • You can also add cubed cooked chicken to this recipe (about 2 cups). Place the chicken over the broccoli layer and then pour the soup mixture over that. I usually make a bit more soup mixture when adding the chicken. Makes a great one dish meal using leftover ingredients.

BROCCOLI, HAM AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Broccoli, Ham and Cheese Casserole image

I had the broccoli, ham and cheese, but no cream soup, so I took a couple existing recipes and improvised. Also, I used Jarlsberg cheese, but Swiss or any favorite cheese could be used.

Provided by Linky

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
salt
pepper
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup ham, diced (can use more)
3 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup broth, chicken (or vegetarian)
1 cup cheese (shredded or cubed, I use Jarlsberg, your choice)
1 cup onion rings, french fried

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook onions in butter until almost soft, add garlic and cook all until soft.
  • Sprinkle flour over butter/onion mixture, stir to form a roux.
  • Slowly pour in milk and broth. Stir until somewhat thickened. Add cheese, salt and pepper. Continue to stir until thickened.
  • Spread ham, broccoli and rice in 9x9 glass casserole pan (or similar).
  • Pour cheese mixture over top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle fried onions on top. Bake for another 15 min until cheese is bubbling but not burnt!
  • Note: I was out of milk and didn't want to cook rice or broccoli ahead of time. I did the onion - flour steps the same, then upped the liquid (3 Cups broth) and just added the raw rice and broccoli to the pan, let the mixture of stuff come to a boil, then simmered for a few minutes; stirred in the cheese; sprinkled the onions on top; baked for 20min. Yum!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Choose fresh broccoli florets, sharp cheddar cheese, and a creamy soup base.
  • Cook the broccoli florets until they are tender-crisp: You don't want them to be too soft or they will become mushy in the casserole. Steam or boil them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Don't just stick to cheddar cheese. Try adding some Parmesan, Gruyère, or even blue cheese for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: It should be cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the broccoli is tender. Overcooking will make the casserole dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: It's best enjoyed hot out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.
