Terry and Chris made this yummy casserole for a quick dinner before Allen’s Holiday Concert on 12/16/24 and I stopped looking for my favorite Chicken & Rice Casserole. You can switch out the broccoli for a cooked veggie of your choice, like California Mix (their veggie that night) or whole kernel corn, which I used one day. Maybe sliced carrots on another day? Don’t you just love choices? =^..^=

How To Make chicken & rice casserole with broccoli

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Mist a 13 x 9” baking dish or pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir it up!
    Step 2
    In a larger mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, soup, broth**, rice**, salt and pepper, chicken, and ONE cup of the shredded cheese. **If you use cooked rice, only add 1 to 1 1/4 cups of broth.
  • Add the broccoli.
    Step 3
    Add the cooked broccoli and stir together well.
  • Step 4
    Pour the mixed ingredients into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the rest of the cheese.
  • Baked casserole
    Step 5
    Bake at 350°F until rice is tender, casserole is bubbling, and cheese is the color you like, about 30-35 minutes. Cool briefly before serving so casserole thickens a little. Enjoy! =^..^=
