Cheesy Chicken Broccoli & Rice Casserole
An incredibly easy dump and bake recipe full of chicken, broccoli, rice, and cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken cooked and shredded
- 4 cups white rice cooked *See notes
- 10 oz broccoli florets partially cooked *See notes
- 7 slices bacon cooked and crumbled, divided
- Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning to taste
- 1 (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1-2 (4 oz each) pouches Velveeta cheese sauce *See notes
- 8 oz Colby Jack cheese shredded
- Crispy fried onions to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large mixing bowl, add shredded chicken, cooked white rice, broccoli, a handful of cooked and crumbled bacon, and seasonings of choice. My personal favorite for this is roasted garlic and herb seasoning.
- Dump in cream of chicken soup and Velveeta cheese sauce.
- Stir until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a greased baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove and top with shredded Colby Jack cheese.
- Return to the oven for 5 minutes and then broil on high for a couple minutes.
- Top with remaining cooked and crumbled bacon and crispy fried onions.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The white rice measures at 2 cups BEFORE cooking.
- Cook broccoli, but not completely. Cook about 2/3 of the time you normally would.
- I only used 1 Velveeta cheese sauce but if you REALLY like things cheesy, use 2.
