Chicken & Broccoli Casserole... All Time Fav! image

My DH's absolute all time favorite meal! He could eat this every night if I let him. I always make this when we have guests, and they ask for the recipe every time! It will be nice to have it on here now so I can just print it out!!! If you freeze this please double the sauce, for some reason it gets a bit dry in the freezer.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
4 cups cooked rice
2 medium stalk broccoli, lightly steamed
2 cups grated cheese, cheddar or 2 cups colby-monterey jack cheese
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise, I have used miracle whip once with good results also
3/4 cup chicken broth
French-fried onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine soup, mayo and broth in a large sauce pan, heat until warm.
  • Add cheese, stir until melted.
  • Add chicken, rice and broccoli, stir until well blended (if it seems like it needs more liquid add chicken broth or mayo a little at a time). Sometimes I just layer the ingredients: rice, chicken, brocolli, sauce, french fried onions, sprinkle with cheese. Same results.
  • Top with a thin layer of french fried onions and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  • Bake @ 350 until bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
