Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, halved and diced
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 12 ounces cooked broccoli
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, optional
  • garlic salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and diced chicken. Season with garlic salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl or in the casserole dish, add the cooked rice, cooked chicken, cooked broccoli, cream of chicken soup, milk, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
  • Top with shredded cheese if desired.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes until bubbly.

Notes

Meal Prep: 

  • This casserole works well for meal prep. Assemble it as directed but do not bake. Cover tightly with foil and freeze.
  • When ready to serve, thaw in the refrigerator, then bake as directed.

Tips:

  • Make sure the broccoli is fully cooked and well drained before adding it to the casserole to prevent excess moisture.
  • Stir the rice mixture thoroughly so the liquid is evenly distributed, which helps the rice cook evenly and become tender.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes after baking so it sets and is easier to serve.

Storage & Make Ahead:

  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
  • You can assemble the casserole ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
