Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole image

A co-worker gave me this recipe 30 years ago after an office party. It is still my favorite casserole of all time. It seems like a lot of prep time, but it is really a very simple recipe. Thanks to Cubfan23 for asking about the shredded cheddar cheese ingredient that I forgot to delete. It would have been confusing. The only cheese used is the Cheez Whiz.
