Chicken Broccoli Casserole Rice-A-Roni


  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Description

A comforting and easy-to-make chicken broccoli casserole featuring Rice-A-Roni, tender chicken, and fresh broccoli in a creamy sauce, baked to golden perfection.


Ingredients

Scale

1 box (5.6 oz) Chicken Rice-A-Roni
1 cup water
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the Chicken Rice-A-Roni pasta and seasoning mix from the box to the melted butter. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until the pasta is lightly browned.
Add 1 cup water to the saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice mixture, cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chopped onion, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
