A delicious and easy-to-make casserole featuring chicken, broccoli, and rice, topped with melted cheese.

Scale

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
2 cups cooked chicken, diced (grilled or boiled)
2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom for a vegetarian option
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup French fried onions (optional for topping)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced chicken, broccoli florets, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and coated in the creamy sauce.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle French fried onions on top for an added crunch.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

For a vegetarian option, use cream of mushroom soup.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
