BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE
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 AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
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.

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.
CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
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.

Tips:
- To ensure your chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- For a crispier topping, use a combination of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- If you don't have any cream of chicken soup on hand, you can make your own by blending cooked chicken with a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup.
- To make a gluten-free version of this casserole, use gluten-free bread crumbs and a gluten-free pasta such as quinoa or brown rice.
