Thanks for the recipe!
No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies, Garlic-Herb & Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes, plain or Panko breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers. Whisk cornstarch with remaining 1 cup milk and add to skillet followed by Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, chicken bouillon and all spices/seasonings.
You can freeze it, as well. Required fields are marked *. Love you!
It’s nice and creamy rather than stodgy like many rice casseroles are, and comes out of the oven with a bubbly golden cheesy top. Just a thought. The rice is coated with a creamy cheesy sauce that’s made with milk and flavoured with chicken broth/stock plus stock powder. I doubled the 3rd try so hoping everything comes out right. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the milk. Sprinkle with flour, stock powder and garlic.
Looking forward to dinner tonight. I cut the chicken into 1" cubes and placed them in a 9" x 13" Pyrex dish. She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite.

I have tried many of your recipes and they have all been exceptional. It’s the one meal everyone can agree on.
Elise Bauer is the founder of Simply Recipes. My family loves baked chicken and rice day. This is one of my favorite one-pot recipes.
But I know for a fact it is not!
No, you want a rice that will remain chewy and add textural diversity to the casserole and not become lost. I can’t wait to add this to my family’s dinner rotation! I made a lot of adjustments to get this to be a tasty dinner--used rotisserie chicken, chicken broth instead of water, added poultry seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, mushrooms, peas and carrots, and subbed brown rice instead of white. I added one jalapeño to give it a kick. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Now that we’re heading into the blustery winter months, I’m excited to start recreating more homemade versions of casseroles… Do you have a favorite? You can always salt to taste at the table. Evenly sprinkle over cheese. To the same skillet (don’t wipe out), melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. It’s been quite a long time since I made a casserole, so when I asked my husband last week if he was hungry for anything in particular on Sunday and he said “a broccoli casserole”, I jumped at the opportunity to make one. I don’t usually have sherry, so I reduce the same amount of chicken broth and carry on with the rest of the recipe. Step 5 – Combine: Add veggies/chicken to the sauce if your pan is large enough, otherwise pour sauce over the veggies/chicken in the bowl and stir to combine.
Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole (From Scratch!) I much prefer home made to store-bought/frozen.
Oops. So so good! Please do not use our photos without prior written permission. Your recipes sound great but I must know the data on sodium particularly i order to make this.
This is why I never drive with the windows down – he’d lose his head with a passing car!!!.
I also made a batch of rice the day before and used pre-cut, pre-washed broccoli to keep this recipe as simple as possible. Thanks to katie, the original submitter, for a KEEPER! This looks absolutely delicious!! If you want some additional side options, it would be wonderful with my Perfect Fruit Salad or Winter Fruit Salad, Apple Salad, Fall Salad, Fluffy Dinner Rolls or Garlic Bread.
Add milk, swish rice to spread out evenly. I wish I would have had this recipe when my kids were little and at home. (Note 6). Or bake and then freeze half? Remove chicken, bay leaf and peppercorns from broth; cool.
You mentioned that you made a large batch of chicken in the slow cooker — how did you do that? I knew my husband would really like this, validated last night! Chicken – boneless thigh or tenderloin best for juiciest chicken with required cook time.
Steam broccoli until tender but not limp, about 3 minutes (cook longer if you like softer broccoli).
","Cover casserole with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted. I had to remove the dish from the table because we kept going back for more.
cheese whiz??
Heat chicken broth and milk until hot using any method (stove, microwave). Does this freeze well? Add rice and broth to a saucepan and cook until done. It was really good the next day too.I liked it didn’t have salty soup in it.
Stir the rice, onion, mushroom, and herb mixture so that they are evenly distributed in the casserole dish. This chicken broccoli and rice casserole is perfect for all those busy nights because you can prep it entirely ahead of time and just pop it in the oven at dinner OR freeze for later!
You don’t want any extra moisture added to the casserole. Go ahead and use the milk, yes!
Added 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning, 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, bag of frozen chopped broccoli, and a cup or so of shredded sharp cheddar half in mix half on top. Hello!
It\u2019s made with juicy, tender chicken, tender crisp broccoli and textural rice enveloped in a luscious, creamy, cheese sauce all topped with golden crispy panko.

Featured in 11 Casseroles to Double and Freeze Have you ever had the classic Campbell’s chicken and rice casserole made with canned cream of mushroom soup?
I made this dairy free.
5 Make the sauce: Add 1/4 cup dry sherry or dry white wine to the pan to deglaze it, scraping off the browned bits from the bottom.
Add the Italian and poultry seasonings (or fresh herbs) and paprika to the dish. Add panko and stir to coat.
A homemade recipe for chicken, broccoli and rice casserole made completely from scratch with a cheesy cream sauce and topped with buttered breadcrumbs. Creamy, cheesy, comforting, can’t-stop-eating-it-good!!! Whisk in flour then cook, while stirring, for 1 minute.
Delicious! I’ve made this several times and it’s fantastic!
Top with the remaining grated cheddar, then with the breadcrumb topping. please.
It was a hit with my family.
. If you’re looking for an easy shortcut, picking up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store would be a great way to cut the prep time. I call this my Emergency Chicken Rice Casserole but I would’ve loved to call it the WORLD’s easiest. You can prepare the topping ahead of time, but store it in a separate airtight container at room temperature. Just adds more flavor! Bring broth to a boil. I’d love to see your from-scratch take on a childhood guilty pleasure: tater tot casserole. Definitely going into the rotation!
This is my go-to recipe when I bring someone a meal and people always say they love it.
You can make this entire dish on the stovetop instead of the oven if you want. Rice – recipe works best with long grain white rice.
Cooking time says 1 hr 10 minutes? Definitely pinning and sending to my daughter.
Just came out of the oven my family LOVED it! Allow the sauce to come to a simmer. My husband can even tell when i use one of your recipes. Thank you!
Steam the broccoli until tender but not limp, about 2-3 minutes.
