BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole image

This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Chicken Broccoli Rice and Cheese Casserole image

3/18/13. I've updated this recipe to include alternate choices for the canned chicken the original recipe called for. Lately, I've been using store bought rotisserie chicken. I've seen a lot of recipes for broccoli, cheese and rice casseroles. However, this takes it from a side dish to a main meal casserole. It fills up the sink with dirty dishes, but that is the only draw back. You can make umpteen variations to customize the taste to your liking. I will offer substitution possibilities in the instructions.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

  • Boil broccoli till tender; drain.

  • Melt margarine in large frying pan. Saute onions till glassy. Add both soups and stir well. Add cheese and mix till melted. Remove from heat.
  • Lightly grease a 13 x 9 glass dish.
  • Spread rice evenly over bottom of dish.

CHEESY BROCCOLI, CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Broccoli, Chicken and Rice Casserole image

Provided by Virginia Willis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 cups extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (about 8 ounces)
2 cups homemade chicken stock or canned reduced-fat low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups 2-percent or whole milk
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
1 thyme sprig
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups long-grain rice
3/4 cup sour cream
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved, or 6 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound broccoli crown, chopped into small florets

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the panko and half of the cheese. Set aside.
  • Heat the stock, milk, bay leaf and thyme in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Keep warm while you prepare the vegetables. (You can skip infusing the liquid with the herbs if you like, but it does need to be warmed so it doesn't make lumpy gravy when you add it to the flour.)
  • Heat the butter in a large ovenproof and flame-proof casserole or skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the flour and stir to combine. (The mixture will be dry.)
  • Remove the bay leaf and thyme from the stock mixture. Whisk the stock into the flour and vegetables. Add the remaining cup of cheese and stir until smooth. Add the rice and stir to combine. Add the sour cream, cayenne and nutmeg; stir until smooth. Place the 6 pieces of chicken in the casserole and snuggle them into the rice. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave until the broccoli is just tender and bright green, about 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave. Drain the broccoli and keep warm.
  • Once the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, remove the casserole from the oven and stir in the broccoli. (It's easiest if you transfer the chicken to a plate first, then stir in the broccoli, then pop the chicken back on top.) Smooth the top and sprinkle with the reserved panko-cheese mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Place the casserole on a rack to cool slightly before serving.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole image

This casserole is super satisfying and creamy and uses a great trick to cut out extra butter and oil: Instead of making the traditional roux with butter, the cream sauce is thickened with a little flour.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
4 cups medium broccoli florets
Cooking spray
3 cups frozen brown rice, thawed
1 rotisserie chicken, skinned, white and dark meat shredded (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the flour and broth into a large saucepan and whisk until the flour is dissolved. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil; continue to whisk until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the Cheddar and whisk until melted. Add the broccoli florets and stir to coat.
  • Spray a 3-quart flameproof casserole dish with cooking spray. Toss the brown rice and chicken in a large bowl. Pour the broccoli-cheese sauce on top and mix well. Spread the mixture in the casserole dish and top with the Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake until bubbling and hot, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and broil until the top is nicely browned, 2 to 5 minutes Serve hot.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze the baked casserole for up to 2 weeks. Cover in foil and reheat at 350 degrees F until hot, 35 to 45 minutes.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
1 ¾ cups diced cooked chicken
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in cream cheese, Gouda cheese, mayonnaise, chicken broth, and ranch dressing mix. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until completely incorporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in broccoli, chicken, salt, and pepper until combined. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with Cheddar cheese.

BROCCOLI-CAULIFLOWER CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Broccoli-Cauliflower Chicken Casserole image

A chicken, broccoli and rice casserole is one of our favorite comfort foods. I make my easy variation in the slow cooker. You can easily substitute whatever cheese you prefer. I sometimes use dairy-free cheese to create a more paleo-friendly dinner. The dish is also delicious sprinkled with a simple bread crumb topping. -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
