Ingredients

  • 3 cups steamed white rice
  • 4 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets steamed & roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped minced onion
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 4 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tsp yellow ground curry powder

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the cheeses. Set aside.
  • To a large mixing bowl add the soup, mayo, sour cream, milk, half the cheeses, minced onion, onion powder, garlic, and curry powder. Stir everything together to evenly combine. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Pour a 1/2 cup of the sauce mixture into the prepared dish, and spread it out in a mostly even layer.
  • Add the steamed white rice to the dish, and spread it out in an even layer. Top with the steamed broccoli, again spreading out in an even layer. Add the chopped chicken, then cover evenly with the sauce.
  • Bake the casserole at 350° for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly out overtop of the dish and bake another 8-10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the casserole from the oven, and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can steam the broccoli using whatever method you prefer. Just be careful not to overcook it or it will turn mushy in the casserole during baking.
  • Feel free to sub the cream of mushroom soup for a variety of other cream of soups.
  • Try to keep the broccoli and chicken similarly sized pieces so they cook evenly in the casserole.
