Steps:
- 1. Combine chicken, broccoli and rice in an ovenproof casserole dish. Toss to mix.
- 2. To make the roux: melt the butter in a medium size saucepan. Add the cornstarch and blend thoroughly. While blending, add the milk and seasonings. Continue stirring until a cream soup consistency is reached. At this point, you may add the cheese(s). Since the cheese will thicken the sauce, you may have to add more milk.
- 3. Pour the sauce over the chicken/broccoli/rice mixture. Top with gluten free bread crumbs.
- 4. Bake in pre-heated 350 F oven, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes (depending upon your oven). Remove from oven and serve.

Steps:
- Wash the broccoli and chop into desired size. Steam in a microwave steamer for two minutes on high.
- Cook cream of mushroom soup on low until it begins to thicken. Stir frequently. When soup has thickened, remove from heat.
- Fill 7x11" baking dish with cooked, chopped chicken and steamed broccoli.
- Stir sour cream and sherry into thickened soup. Spoon mushroom pieces over the chicken and broccoli and pour remaining soup evenly over casserole.
- Cover casserole with shredded swiss cheese.
- Top with gluten free bread crumbs and dot with butter if desired.
- Place in 350 F oven and heat for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of broccoli: For the best results, use fresh, firm broccoli with tight florets. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellowing florets.
- Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through in the center.
- Steam or blanch the broccoli before adding it to the casserole: This will help to preserve its bright green color and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a sharp flavor, such as cheddar or Gruyère.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The broccoli should be tender but still slightly crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
Conclusion:
This gluten-free broccoli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its creamy sauce, tender broccoli, and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
