Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Onion Casserole is a comforting and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.

This version is perfect for those who are short on time or who prefer a one-pot meal. The skillet meal is just as flavorful as the casserole, but it can be prepared in a fraction of the time.

Both the casserole and the skillet meal are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less cheese, use different types of cheese, or add other vegetables to the dish.

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.
