CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE
Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

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.

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.

BEST CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE EVER
My friend Kevin made this one night for his own dinner. About 5 or 6 people then wandered into his house around dinnertime and demanded "just a taste". Kevin had to go to McDonald's because we ate all his supper! Although I am not a fan of soup food in general, this is one of the best incarnations of the genre I have ever seen! Bring on the can opener and enjoy!

Steps:
- Rinse and drain broccoli. Chop up the broccoli into small bite size pieces splitting the larger pieces as you get toward the top of the crown.
- Warm the Shredded Chicken, I use mine straight out of the Crock pot. Mix chicken and the cream cheese until blended well. Does not have to have a perfect consistency. The cream cheese will melt in the oven. Put this in an 11 x 9 baking dish. Add some salt, pepper and garlic powder to the top.
- Next put the entire bowl chopped broccoli on top of the chicken. Spread them out evenly. Making sure to completely cover the chicken.
- In a sauce pan warm the cream of broccoli and a half of can of milk. If you follow the directions on the can you will make it too runny. So just use a half of a can of milk.
- Cover with the top with all of the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25- 35 mins or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown on the sides.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- For a creamier casserole, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of sour cream or cottage cheese for extra richness.
- If you don't have any broccoli on hand, you can substitute another vegetable, such as cauliflower, green beans, or peas. You can also add a cup of cooked rice or pasta to the casserole for a heartier dish.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken. You can also use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it and drain it before adding it to the casserole.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, simply assemble it and bake it for 20 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes, or until it's warmed through.
- For a cheesy crust, sprinkle a cup of shredded cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole before baking.
Conclusion:
Chicken broccoli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. With a few simple tips, you can make a casserole that's creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give chicken broccoli casserole a try.
