Chicken and Rice Casserole

A cozy one dish casserole of chicken, rice, broccoli and cheese.

Serves: 6  |  Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken, cubed
• 1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9 by 13 inch dish.
2. Stir together the rice, broth, soup and garlic powder in the dish.
3. Add the chicken and broccoli and season with salt and pepper.
4. Cover tightly with foil and bake 50 to 55 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F.
5. Top with cheese and bake uncovered 5 minutes more.

Pin Tip

Keep the foil tight. Trapped steam is what cooks the rice.

Food Safety

Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F, measured with a thermometer in the thickest part without touching bone. Wash hands, boards and utensils after handling raw chicken.
