Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

2 cups fresh broccoli florets (or frozen, thawed)

2 cups cooked and diced chicken breast

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

1 cup cream of mushroom soup (or homemade equivalent)

½ cup milk (or dairy alternative)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil (for greasing)

½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cooked chicken, broccoli florets, cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.

      Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.

        If you like a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs and a little extra cheddar cheese over the casserole.

          Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

            After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

              Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Rice Casserole!
