Description

A delicious and creamy chicken and broccoli casserole that’s easy to make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 23 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted (10 oz.)
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the chicken is cooked through. Add the onion and garlic. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the onion is softened.
  3. Add the rice, condensed cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth to the pan. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, then lower the temperature to medium-low to maintain a simmer. Cook for 12 minutes.
  4. Add the broccoli to the pan and stir. Cover and continue to cook an additional 7-8 minutes or until the broccoli is tender-crisp, the rice is soft, and the broth is absorbed.
  5. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
