  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 2 cups diced rotisserie chicken
  • Salt/Pepper to taste
  • 2 1/4 cups chicken broth low sodium

Instructions
  1. Note: These instructions were updated on 1/26/20 to include an improved cooking method that allows you to cook and assemble this casserole in a single pot before transferring to a casserole dish. (Quicker, easier, less dirty dishes.)
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with desired amount of salt and pepper.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted. Add the dice chicken and cooked until golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Remove and set aside. Note: This step is not needed if using a cooked rotisserie chicken.
  5. Add the chicken broth and rice to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover tightly for 7 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid and use a silicone spatula to give it a stir and loosen it from the bottom. Add the broccoli florets and replace the lid. Cook for more 8 minutes.
  7. Stir the rice/broccoli and turn the heat off. Add the cooked chicken, soup, milk, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  8. Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish and pour in the rice mixture.
  9. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
  10. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
