Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup instant white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Fold in the chicken, broccoli, and instant rice until well coated. Spread mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly around the edges and the rice is tender.
  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle cheddar over the top. Broil for 2-3 minutes until melted and lightly golden.
  5. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes, then scoop onto plates and serve.

Notes

This casserole thickens as it rests; the 10-minute rest is key for clean spoonfuls. If you use frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it well to avoid a watery sauce.
