For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth for water. Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the chicken mixture for extra depth. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Colby for a different flavor profile. If you like a crispy topping, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to brown further.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, condensed cream of chicken soup, thawed and drained broccoli, rinsed white rice, and water (or chicken broth). Mix everything together thoroughly to ensure even distribution. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and promote even cooking. (2 minutes)
04
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the casserole gently to redistribute the ingredients, and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the pan again with foil. (3 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Continue to bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink inside), the rice is tender, and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (10 minutes)
06
Step
15 mins
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set slightly. (5 minutes)
