Ingredients in Broccoli and Rice Chicken Casserole

Like I said before, the ingredients in this are probably already things that you have in your kitchen! This makes it so simple to put together! See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

Butter: Because you are adding salt later, I like to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Onion: Chop up your onion into pieces similar in size so that it cooks evenly. Broccoli florets: Chop these up big or small, you can do whatever is best for your family to eat! Rice: You will cook this up before mixing it in with all of the other ingredients. Cream of chicken soup: You can use store-bought or you can try making this delicious homemade cream of chicken soup.Sour cream: This helps give the dish that creamy texture.Milk: Using milk will help to mix all of the ingredients together. Salt and pepper: Adding these in will help enhace the flavors of all of the other ingredients and give it some additional flavoring! Garlic powder: I looooove the flavor of garlic! It adds a lot of delicious flavor to this recipe! Cooked chicken: I used a rotissarie chicken but you can also cook up some chicken breast or use canned chicken in a pinch as well!

Topping

Panko: When you mix this with the butter, it creates the perfect topping that will get crispy and golden while it bakes! Parmesan: Adds in the perfect flavor to top the casserole. Butter: You will melt the butter to use in the topping and mix with with the cheese and bread crumbs!

How to Make Broccoli and Rice Chicken Casserole

This casserole can be made in about 30 minutes! It’s the perfect last-minute meal that your whole family will go crazy over!

Topping

Vegetables: Try switching out the broccoli for other vegetables that you like! Carrots, peas, green beans or any ones that you really love! Or, you can even add a few more to the broccoli! Just make sure that you adjust the amounts. For example, if you add in one ingredient, make it 2 cups of each. If you want to use 4 veggies, add 1 cup of each! Rice: You can switch the white rice out for brown rice if you like that better. It will alter the taste a bit but be jst as yummy. Make sure to follow the directions on the rice that you are using because brown rice takes a bit longer to cook!

Refrigerator: Once your casserole has cooled then store it in an airtight container and place it in your fridge. It will last for 3-4 days! Reheat: To reheat your leftovers, place individual servings on plates and microwave them on high for 1- 2 minutes or until heated through.
