• 1 (11 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
• 34 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• black pepper (to taste)

1. 1) In a medium pot over medium heat, saute the diced onion and olive oil until the onion is soft and translucent.

3. 3) Add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes with a lid covering the pot.
5. 4) While the rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. 5) Thaw the broccoli in the microwave until it is just slightly tender (it will cook further in the casserole).

8. 7) Mix in 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish.
9. Top the mixture with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese.
