    Make a pan of Rhodes rolls to serve with this chicken and rice casserole. For dessert, I would suggest a refrigerator eclair cake (just be sure to make the dessert the day before) or pop in a blackberry dump cake served with a scoop of black raspberry ice cream.

    ✨ Here is why this recipe is amazing:

    • Simple ingredients that are easily found at the grocery store.
    • Switch up the flavors by swapping out the broccoli for another vegetable.

    🍚 Ingredients needed:

    ingredients for chicken broccoli rice casserole, cheese, cream of chicken soup, raw chicken, eggs, broccoli, white rice with text overlay.

    Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the recipe at the bottom for quantities.

    📝 Ingredient notes:

    • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved and diced
    • 4 c cooked rice (2 cups uncooked)
    • 2 10.5 oz cans of cream of chicken
    • 12 oz frozen broccoli
    • 1 c milk
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

    🔄 Substitutions

    broccoli added to the baking dish showing a wooden spoon stirring.
    • Cooked rotisserie chicken can be substituted for the chicken breasts. There is no need to cook the rotisserie chicken further, just dice it up.
    • Fresh broccoli florets can be substituted for frozen broccoli. Frozen broccoli is already blanched so if using fresh broccoli you are going to want to steam it for about 6 minutes before adding it to your casserole mix. Learn how to cook broccoli in this post.
    • Use chicken stock in place of the water when cooking the rice for added flavor.
    • Substitute in another vegetable such as peas, mixed frozen vegetables or cup up green beans for the broccoli. Use 2 cups.
