BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.

CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE
3/18/13. I've updated this recipe to include alternate choices for the canned chicken the original recipe called for. Lately, I've been using store bought rotisserie chicken. I've seen a lot of recipes for broccoli, cheese and rice casseroles. However, this takes it from a side dish to a main meal casserole. It fills up the sink with dirty dishes, but that is the only draw back. You can make umpteen variations to customize the taste to your liking. I will offer substitution possibilities in the instructions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease/spray a casserole dish; set aside.
- Place your 3 cups hot cooked rice in a large bowl and set aside.
- Steam/microwave the broccoli flowerets until fork-tender; drain (you should have 4 cups cooked flowerets) and place in bowl with hot cooked rice; set a side.
- In a small saucepan, over med-low heat, melt butter; add onion and saute for about 3-4 minutes. Add in milk and beaten egg; stir well. Add in the cheese, salt, pepper and paprika. Continue to cook, stirring often, until cheese is melted. Pour this mixture over broccoli and rice in the large bowl. Stir together well to evenly coat.
- Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish. Bake, uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Select fresh, deep green broccoli with tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets, as these indicate age and reduced quality.
- Prepare the broccoli correctly: Cut the broccoli into small florets of uniform size to ensure even cooking. Steam or blanch the broccoli until it reaches your desired tenderness, whether al dente or soft.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Opt for a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, Parmesan, or a combination of these. Freshly grated cheese is always preferable to pre-shredded cheese, as it melts more smoothly.
- Don't overcook the rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, but be careful not to overcook it, as this can make it mushy. If you're using instant rice, follow the instructions on the package.
- Season well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme. This will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Conclusion:
