Chicken Broccoli & Rice Casserole image

We love casseroles, especially this one...it is the perfect marriage of chicken and rice with broccoli casserole. It takes me back to Sunday dinners on the ground, pot luck with family and supper with Mama and Daddy. Pure, simple comfort food.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 bone in chicken thighs, 2 large breast can also be used
1 medium head broccoli, florets removed
1 pkg boil in bag rice, or 1 1/2 c. cooked rice
10 1/2 oz cream of chicken soup
1/4 c milk
2 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
2 c shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 c french fried onions

Steps:

  • 1. Place the chicken in a pot and cover with water cook over med. high heat until chicken is cooked through (about 25-30 min.). Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool.

  • 3. When the chicken has cooled, remove it from the bone and shred. Cut the broccoli up into smaller pieces if some of the florets are large. Add the rice and chicken to the broccoli, stir to combine. Add in the soup, milk, melted butter, 1 1/2 C. cheese, French fried onions, salt and pepper. Stir to combine well. Pour into a 2.5 quart lightly greased casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until nice and bubbly.

I topped this casserole with some shredded cheddar cheese before baking it and it was amazing. The cheese melted and got all gooey, and it added a delicious flavor to the dish.

I used brown rice instead of white rice in this recipe and it turned out great. The brown rice gave the dish a more nutty flavor and made it a bit healthier.

I added some diced carrots and celery to this recipe and it was even better. The extra vegetables added a nice crunch and flavor to the dish.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for lunch or dinner.

I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge success. My husband and kids loved it. The chicken was tender and moist, and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the rice was fluffy and light.
