Ingredients

1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked instant rice
2 large cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of broccoli soup
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs PLB
1 teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, stir, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Transfer rice to a casserole dish and mix with chicken and broccoli.
Combine condensed soup, milk, bread crumbs, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl; mix until well combined. Add to the casserole dish along with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; mix to combine. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
