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, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

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.

Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
½ (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce

¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for chicken casserole. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to shred or cube.
  • Season the Chicken: Don't forget to season the chicken with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking. This will add flavor and depth to the casserole.
  • Cook the Chicken Properly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the casserole. You can cook the chicken in a skillet, in the oven, or in a slow cooker.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a Creamy Sauce: A creamy sauce is a great way to add richness and flavor to a chicken casserole. You can use a simple white sauce or a more complex sauce made with cheese, herbs, or spices.
  • Top with a Crunchy Topping: A crunchy topping, such as bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or grated cheese, can add a nice contrast to the creamy sauce and tender chicken.
  • Bake the Casserole: Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the Casserole Rest: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

Chicken casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a chicken casserole that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken casserole a try.
