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.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

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.

Provided by LifeAfter40

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken (bake it yourself, rotisserie or canned)
3 cups cooked rice (1 cup uncooked)
2 cups frozen chopped broccoli
1 (8 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Drain 2 cans of chicken breast meat (You can substitute home boiled chicken or rotisserie- just chop it small).
  • Boil broccoli till tender; drain.
  • Boil rice. (You can substitute a packet of broccoli cheese rice mix such as Lipton's. Depending on amount of rice you want, might want to make two packets).
  • Melt margarine in large frying pan. Saute onions till glassy. Add both soups and stir well. Add cheese and mix till melted. Remove from heat.
  • Lightly grease a 13 x 9 glass dish.
  • Spread rice evenly over bottom of dish.
  • Spread broccoli over rice layer.
  • Pour 1/3 of cheese sauce over the broccoli and rice and spread evenly.
  • Spread chicken on top of cheese sauce and top with remaining sauce.

  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

CHEESY BROCCOLI, CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Broccoli, Chicken and Rice Casserole image

Provided by Virginia Willis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 cups extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (about 8 ounces)
2 cups homemade chicken stock or canned reduced-fat low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups 2-percent or whole milk
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
1 thyme sprig
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups long-grain rice
3/4 cup sour cream
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved, or 6 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound broccoli crown, chopped into small florets

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the panko and half of the cheese. Set aside.
  • Heat the stock, milk, bay leaf and thyme in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Keep warm while you prepare the vegetables. (You can skip infusing the liquid with the herbs if you like, but it does need to be warmed so it doesn't make lumpy gravy when you add it to the flour.)
  • Heat the butter in a large ovenproof and flame-proof casserole or skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the flour and stir to combine. (The mixture will be dry.)
  • Remove the bay leaf and thyme from the stock mixture. Whisk the stock into the flour and vegetables. Add the remaining cup of cheese and stir until smooth. Add the rice and stir to combine. Add the sour cream, cayenne and nutmeg; stir until smooth. Place the 6 pieces of chicken in the casserole and snuggle them into the rice. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave until the broccoli is just tender and bright green, about 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Drain the broccoli and keep warm.
  • Once the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, remove the casserole from the oven and stir in the broccoli. (It's easiest if you transfer the chicken to a plate first, then stir in the broccoli, then pop the chicken back on top.) Smooth the top and sprinkle with the reserved panko-cheese mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Place the casserole on a rack to cool slightly before serving.

CHICKEN, RICE, AND BISCUIT CASSEROLE



Chicken, Rice, and Biscuit Casserole image

If you love rice, cream of chicken soup, and biscuits, this is the meal for you. I remember when I was younger and my mother had made something similar to this in a kit. I decided to try to remake it without a kit to how I remember it. It's perfect for those cool rainy days.

Provided by Kristi Brown

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water
1 cup rice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (26 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated flaky-style biscuit dough, separated

Steps:

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour just enough water into a large skillet to cover the bottom in a shallow layer; add chicken pieces in a single layer. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Turn heat to medium-high and cook chicken, adding water as needed to keep pan wet, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes; drain liquid.
  • Stir cooked rice, cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, and Mexican blend cheese together in a casserole dish. Smooth the top of the mixture with the back of a spoon. Arrange biscuit dough over the bottom layer, breaking dough pieces as needed to get maximum coverage and to avoid overlap.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the bottom layer is heated through completely, 20 to 35 minutes.

We're living in a suburb of a big city now, but we hope to move to a rural area. Meanwhile, two small children, home improvement projects, sewing and needlework keep me busy.
