Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
- 14 ounces, weight Broccoli Florets, Frozen
- 4 cups Rice, Cooked
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 teaspoons Seasoned Salt, To Taste
- 21- 1/2 ounces, weight Condensed Cream Of Broccoli Soup
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- 1 cup Caesar-flavored Croutons, Crushed
- Blanch frozen broccoli in boiling water to thaw.
- (If you want your broccoli to come out crisp in the finished dish, boil only until thawed.
- I like mine on the soft side, so I cook it a little longer.)
- Prepare rice according to directions on box.
- Season chicken with seasoned salt and pan fry with a little non-stick spray until no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove from the pan and let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice/chop/shred depending on your preference.
- In a large casserole dish, mix the broccoli, rice, chicken, and soup together until thoroughly combined.
- Top with cheese and bake at 400 degrees until the cheese has melted, then top with croutons.
- Total baking time should be around 30 minutes, depending on the dimensions of your casserole dish (mine is very deep, so your mileage may vary).
- If you notice the cheese and croutons starting to burn, cover with aluminum foil to finish baking until heated through.
- This is a very versatile recipe.
- If youre short on time (as I usually am), you can use leftover rice from Chinese take-out and/or rotisserie chicken to speed things along.
- You can also change up the seasonings on the chicken, the variety of soup, the kind of cheese, etc.
- This recipe also works well with brown rice.
