Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Turned out great! One of our favorites now.

Just not for me but ok

Wonderful. Didn't use both bags of cheese though as my family aren't the big cheesy type. Super creamy, very yummy, season everything how you prefer it, stir during baking. I used thicken thighs for this and it was very juicy and amazing. If you're struggling with the instructions (even though they're simple) this is how I did everything so everything was prepared at relatively the same time. LONG POST! ↓ Meal prep: Find all your ingredients and pair them with your measuring tools even if it has to be in groups around those cups/tbs (makes life easy and organized) Chop/Dice up your unions wash your rice (as instructed and set aside) Season your meat with every and anything you desire NOW Preheat your oven to 350°F PREEMPTIVELY or while you're searing your chicken to give it ample time to reach temp FIRST you warm your oil in your skillet and lay the chicken in on medium heat or high (might depend, careful or grease popping! Your oil is already warmed/hot and it will crackle and pop) Give that first side a few minutes , don't stress about checking it too often especially if it's a thicker piece Then fill your pot with the broth and bring it to a boil. This won't take long Flip your chicken and do the other side After a few more minutes your pot will begin to boil or be up to a good boil, then add your rice. This ESPECIALLY will not take very long Your chicken should be seared by now, feel free to take it out the skillet and cut it into cubes as directed. The chicken prep, arguably the most stressful part, is done! Your rice will have begun to reboil hopefully in the middle or near the end of your chicken cutting (possibly, if you're speedy) Remove from heat and you are absolutely ready to start adding everything to your dish. Edit: make sure the rice has become fluffy sorta. When adding to your dish, rice first, then all liquids go in + chicken (stir) before your cheese last. 5/5 very good!! It can be bland if you don't know how to season good and my instructions are just for those (like myself actually) who panic on what should be done in what order prep and cooking wise so you're not scrambling like "omg I should've prepped this in the beginning and now this is chaos". Enjoy! Def a go-to easy meal.

Great, but season to your taste! May need more chicken broth for rice, I sautéed my onions in the chicken pan after cooking chicken and I had no issue with too crunchy or overpowering onions in the casserole, as other comments suggested.

I cooked the onions with the chicken

Onion should've been cooked a bit because the taste was too overpowering. Broccoli should've been steamed as it was a bit hard for our liking. First dish we didn't like much 😩

Was nice but a little bland, had to add some spices to the dish in the middle. Turned out great though with some more flavour.

I roasted chayote, Anaheim peppers, and Tomatillos, I also added diced tomatoes with green chiles.

I also added garlic and it was great!

I added garlic and sauteed it with the onion after cooking the chicken. Turned out very good. I might add some sesame oil next time.

I made this for Christmas today. It was quite a hit. Everyone talked about how good it was and took some home. It was very tasty! Definitely will make it again.

We don't have canned chicken cream so I just used heavy cream and it turned out great! A bit runny for a casserole (idk if runny is a good word, English is not my first language) but very tasty, kind of like Mac 'n cheese but with rice and meat 😄 I have autism and it comes with food selectivity but it was a great dish that helps to smuggle some vegetables.

Turned out pretty good, but the onions were too crunchy, probably should have sauteed them first. I also added some Velveeta cheese I had. Yum!

We used a rice cooker to make the rice and the George Foreman for making the chicken. We added it all together and added the chicken broth last before the layer of cheese that goes on top. It worked wonderfully. I was a bit short on broccoli, and we didn’t add the onion. I made up with the onion by using onion powder and some Italian seasoning on the chicken and it worked great!

Not sure what could improve it but taste testers all agreed something was off

Added actual seasonings while cooking the chicken. Garlic onion paprika ranch powder. Made it amazing

Doesn’t look the best, but was delish

Overall, good. My mistake was not using instant rice. I boiled regular rice for several minutes and then poured it into the dish to bake. I thought the rice would cook a bit more in the oven - negative. It was slightly crunchy. I also used gruyere cheese in addition to cheddar. Very cheesy.

Not bad its quite delicious looks like I'm adding this in my meal plans

Comfort food. Spiced up the chicken more, add any veg (I used kale).

Added some extra spices and used fresh broccoli!

Hit with the kids I cut the broccoli really fine for them to disguise it a Little bit

Nice

This was really good and a hit with the kids but a little bland for my taste. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little cayenne!

Super easy and fun to make! 😁

I used chicken thighs seasoned with kinders buttery poultry baked in oven. Used the same casserole dish to then bake this leaving the renderings in pan to mix in.

Very easy to make, a little heavy but absolutely delicious my husband loved it and ate all the leftovers the next night

It was very good! Very cheesy, but I love cheese, so that was a good thing. Definitely not healthy, but my husband and I enjoyed it!

It's pretty good. I did season the chicken differently to my taste and used jasmine rice and 2 cans of cream of mushroom

It was very tasty, but the next time I make it I would cook the broccoli first as it wasn't cooked

It was delicious, I used two LBS of chicken instead of one, and I used my own seasoning on my chicken, seasoning it to taste, afterwards I sauteed the onions in the same skillet, I used regular brown rice and cooked the broccoli before adding it

I think I used the wrong cheese. I use sharp cheese cheese and it over powered the whole dish 😭

It was a bit bland. But overall good. Next time would add additional spices, would also partially boil the broccoli as well before mixing all together as it was still a bit crunchy.

Cooked the chicken and rice separately and then added together when all were done! Seemed a little faster and tasted great!

Onions didn't cook through for some reason. Still good though

More chicken next time. Sauté broccoli and onions after chicken.

Most of the kids had seconds. This was a really easy and satisfying meal and it was easy enough for the kids that didn’t like broccoli to pick it out 😜 I did cook the onions in the pan after I cooked the chicken and I think that was the way to go

I made this without the chicken as a side turned out great!

Was a bit bland. Would add more seasoning next time.

Roast brocolli and onions with oil/salt in oven prior to adding to mix.

Really good. Cooked in the instant pot with chicken thighs. 10 minutes, then steamed broccoli on top for 5. Came out amazing - will do cream of mushroom soup next time& probably less rice.

My boyfriend loved it. His special request. Glad I chose this recipe

I used jasmine rice and next time I would cook the rice fully first. I also added a can of mushroom soup.

Good and easy to throw together

Turned out delicious! Tweaked a few things. Seasoned the chicken, did a half cup more of rice, and chopped the broccoli . Turned out great!

I made some modifications and it turned out fantastic! I used 1.5 cups of Jasmin rice (cooked ahead using 2/3rds regular amount of water to make it slightly undercooked). I also used fresh broccoli sauteed quickly on high heat with the onion and some fresh garlic and half a left over red bell pepper that was chopped into small bits. I also used two cans of soup instead of one (I used one cream of chicken and one cream of wild mushroom). I figured that because I switched to regular rice and an extra can of soup, I halved the chicken broth and the milk. I used half the cheese mixed in and half on top. Finally I topped with a healthy amount of panko crumbs and parmesan/romano for the final bake to add a nice thick crunchy layer on top. It worked out very well! I would consider also adding in some chopped mushrooms next time as well, and a full red pepper would have been fine for these proportions. Will definitely make it again.

Loved it! My sister's a picky eater, and I wasn't sure if she'd like it! SHE DID!

Everyone enjoyed this dish. Even my ex narcissistic boyfrien, Said it was very good!

Made as is and everyone loved it. My husband is my biggest food critic and he has requested it again this week. I have a 4 and 6 year old and my even my 4 old even ate it (he is our picky one at the moment). I also love that the directions don't have you cook the chicken all the way through or the rice as once everything is in the oven it finishes cooking. Because of this the chicken isn't super dry and the rice isnt mushy which is a big issue I find in most recipes.

Turned out great as is. Used minute rice for the first time and had no issues. We made in an oven friendly deep pan and made it one dish cooking by taking out the chicken then onion and adding back after cooking the rice in the pot.

Turned out mushy and tasteless. Sad.

Loved this meal it was yum! My kids also enjoyed it

Runnier than expected

Very yummy!!

I cooked my chicken in the slow cooker earlier in the day so that it was ready to throw into the casserole. Turned out great!

Used fresh broccoli instead of frozen and was very tasty.

We loved this recipe and my husband requested it again. Was add to our favorites.

Used a dash of onion powder instead of actual onions...turned out great!

Very flavorful with a few tweaks. Cut chicken in cubes then cooked with cajun spice mix. Used 1/2 sharp cheddar, 1/2 mozzarella. Pre cooked broccoli florets in microwave to speed up oven time, baked 25-30 minutes. Used frozen chopped onion as time saver also.

Yummy

I mixed shredded Parmesan with the cheddar, and topped with the mixture and Italian breadcrumbs. I also seasoned the chicken well while cooking since other notes said it was a little bland (I used S and P, garlic powder, poultry seasoning). Might add this to the meal rotation

Needs seasoning other than salt & pepper just added to the chicken. We added Tony's creole seasoning after the fact, & it was delicious. But for the kids, perfect the way it was... except, I will only use half an onion next time.

This one missed the mark but quite a bit in terms of flavor. It was like all I could taste was the cream of chicken.

Sauté the onions with the chicken prior to adding to baking dish.

I added some minced garlic, GFS Canadian Chicken Seasoning, Onion Powder for my seasonings to chicken. plus Can of Mushroom Soup, 2 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup. Plus 3 different shredded cheese. The. Top is 1/4 stick of Butter and Panko Breadcrumbs. I didn’t measure the Panko. I just added it in butter until I had a buttery sprinkle loose topping.

Took a little longer than the recipe said, but we cranked up the oven temp a little and left it in a little longer and it came out delicious. Rice was a little undercooked for my taste, but that could just be the rice we used. It was super easy, super cheap, and super filling! Definitely will make again.

Should do up the chicken and rice night before to make it go faster

Everyone ate it, so it’s a win for me!

Delish

Delicious! I seasoned the meat and the whole dish with different seasonings and I didn’t use milk. My kids enjoyed it and didn’t even notice the onions!

Delicious, easy to follow/make. Family loved it plus some left for cold lunch box.

I used condensed broccoli cheese soup instead of cream of chicken. When cooking the chicken I cooked the onions as well and added 2 tsp garlic. I also grated medium cheddar cheese and it turned out very good. I seasoned the entire casserole instead of just the chicken and I think that helped a lot.

Added some seasoning of my own to spice it up a bit.

This recipe wasn’t for me. I found the flavor to be a bit one note, and ended up adding thyme and ancho chili powder after the fact. Even with those additions, I don’t think I would make it again. However, the recipe was very easy and quick! Good for folks on a time crunch who aren’t too picky flavor wise. Note: added breadcrumbs to the top for texture, sautéed onions and garlic before adding to mix. Seasoned chicken before cooking.

I used 3 cans of chicken because that's what we had. I cooked it up with the onion and spices in the fry pan to season it first.

After eating several helpings, my husband asked me when I could make this again!

used brown rice and it was delicious

Really good! Will be making again

Made this and it was kind of bland. If I made it again I would add more onion powder, garlic powder and maybe some chicken seasoning. Not bad though

Next time marinade the chicken and add garlic

To cheesy for me. broccoli should be steamed a little before going into the oven, that may just be me though, I dont care for crunchy broccoli, I prefer soft. I did cook the onions before baking them so they were soft.

A lot cheesier than I expected, but it was very good.

The onion and broccoli have a delicious crunch! The milk is unnecessary.

I messed up and didn't have enough of the cheese so used half cheddar and half mozzarella. still turned out amazing. kids didn't even taste the onions.
