Description
A comforting and hearty casserole featuring chicken, broccoli, and cheddar cheese, perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (or a homemade substitute)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 cup breadcrumbs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it.
- Combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them on top for a crunchy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a creamier casserole, consider adding more cheese or a dollop of sour cream. Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free cream of chicken soup.
