Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Cook the frozen broccoli according to package directions. Drain off any excess liquid and place the hot broccoli on a cutting board. Run a knife through it to make smaller bite-sized pieces.
- Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and Velveeta to the broccoli and stir well to combine.
- Add the rice, chicken, and seasonings to the bowl and stir again to combine.
- Taste and add additional seasoning as needed. If your chicken was already seasoned, the above seasonings are likely fine.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the cheddar cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Notes
We recommend chopping the broccoli into smaller pieces for a better texture. You can substitute cream of chicken soup with homemade version. Leftover or rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe.
