A Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that’s relatively easy to prepare. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make it:
Ingredients:
For the casserole:
2 cups cooked chicken (you can use rotisserie chicken or cook and shred chicken breasts/thighs)
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups broccoli florets (steamed or blanched until tender)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook and shred your chicken. Season it with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
Cook the Rice: Prepare the white rice according to the package instructions, and set it aside.
Steam the Broccoli: Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are tender but still vibrant green. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Once done, drain them and set them aside.
Make the Casserole Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
Assemble the Casserole: In a large casserole dish, layer half of the cooked rice, followed by half of the cooked chicken, half of the steamed broccoli, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
