Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole

Here’s a recipe for a delicious Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 2 cups broccoli florets, blanched
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked rice, blanched broccoli florets, and shredded cheese. Mix well and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken, rice, and broccoli in the baking dish. Use a spatula to gently mix everything together, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
4. If desired, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly.
6. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy (if using breadcrumbs).
7. Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve your Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole hot, and enjoy!
