From Grandma Smith. From this recipe, I make one large casserole and one 8-inch round casserole. I think the recipe could be halved easily, but when making for myself, I freeze one casserole for later use. Freezes well.

GRANDMA'S CHEESY BROCCOLI & CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli & Chicken Casserole image

This is down home comfort food at it's finest. It was the only way my grams or mom could get me to eat my broccoli while growing up. These days I use brown rice for a lower carb, healthier version. Sometimes I also use chicken thigh instead of breast because it's so much more tender. I hope you love it was much as I do.

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.

Provided by Heather

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Baked and Roasted

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups water
2 cups uncooked instant rice
2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
¼ cup butter
1 cup milk
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
1 small white onion, chopped
1 pound processed cheese food

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Mix in the instant rice, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, mix the prepared rice, chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, butter, milk, broccoli, onion, and processed cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this casserole. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're not too dry.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken is tough and chewy.
  • Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli has a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. The broccoli should be cooked through, but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked broccoli is mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients. Try adding other vegetables, such as cauliflower, carrots, or zucchini. You can also try using different types of cheese or different seasonings.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a family meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
