BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole image

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

Chicken Broccoli Rice and Cheese Casserole image

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.
