Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup Cooked white rice fluffy and cooled slightly
  • 1.5 lb Chicken breast, cooked and chopped rotisserie works great
  • 4 cup Broccoli florets fresh or frozen, chopped bite-size
  • 21 oz Condensed cream of chicken soup two 10.5 oz cans
  • 1 cup Sour cream full-fat for best texture
  • 0.5 cup Chicken broth low sodium preferred
  • 2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded divided
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Prep broccoli: If fresh, steam or microwave until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, then drain well. If frozen, thaw and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Fold in cooked rice, chicken, broccoli, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar until evenly coated. If mixture seems dry, stir in an extra splash of broth.
  • Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 0.5 cup cheddar and sprinkle with paprika.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  • Rest 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy.

Notes

Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken and frozen broccoli for even faster prep. Swap in cooked brown rice for extra fiber. For a crunchy topping, add 0.75 cup crushed buttery crackers mixed with 1 tbsp melted butter over the cheese before baking.
