Ingredients
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
3 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, thawed and drained broccoli, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the soup mixture over the rice, chicken, and broccoli mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
