Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
⅓ cup slivered almonds
¼ teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets, and cook uncovered until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately rinse with cold water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the broccoli is cold, drain well, chop into small pieces, and place into a mixing bowl.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir the cooked rice, chicken, Cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, yogurt, almonds, curry powder, garlic powder, pepper, and lemon juice into the broccoli until evenly mixed. Spoon the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

EASY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole image

Most of the chicken broccoli casseroles I've seen here all have mayonaisse. Ick! This recipe uses a mixture of three different soups instead for it's creamy texture. The original recipe calls for cooked chicken breasts and cooked broccoli. I don't have time to cook things before I cook them! So I've always used uncooked chicken and frozen uncooked broccoli. Seems fine to me! :) Cooking time doesn't reflect pre-cooking of the chicken or broccoli... I can't stand cheddar cheese so I substitute mozzarella because that's the only cheese I can eat. I don't like mushrooms either, so I never put them in. Feel free to experiment!

EASY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole image

We've been talking about soups and how they can help your cooking. Many brands have the sodium and fat removed. Here is something that relies on soup - and is really very good. I use canned chicken often for this one because I can keep all the ingredients (except the broccoli) on my pantry shelf.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c cooked cubed chicken, or canned chicken (drained)
10 oz package frozen broccoli florets, lightly steamed and drained
1 can(s) cream of broccoli or cream of chicken soup
1 1/4 c evaporated milk
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
dash(es) of salt and pepper
6 oz uncooked pasta, such as rotini or bowties

Steps:

  • 1. First, start pasta: cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water with a little salt and olive oil, until "al dente" - not too mushy. Drain and return to pot, cover and keep warm.
  • 2. Stir together chicken, broccoli, soup, evaporated milk, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Add to cooked pasta and stir to warm it all up.
  • 3. Turn into a greased 2 1/2-qt casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees about 20-25 minutes, until all is hot and bubbly.
