Cheesy and hardy this Cheesy Broccoli Chicken and Rice Casserole is a classic dinner recipe. Everyone will love it!
This Cheesy Broccoli Chicken and Rice Casserole is a recipe passed down to me from my mom. It’s a spin on her recipe for Cheesy Broccoli Casserole. We love it so much I added chicken and called it dinner.
How to make Cheesy Broccoli Chicken and Rice Casserole:
Step one: Start by heating some oil in your skillet. Add cubed chicken and cook until cooked through then set aside.
Step two: Next preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then prepare a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step three: Mix together your cooked chicken, broccoli florets, cream of mushroom soup, hot water, cheese whiz, and uncooked instant rice. Once mixed together add to your casserole dish.
- Tip: Add your broccoli to your casserole still frozen and your rice uncooked. Your casserole will look runny but will thicken up as it cooks.
Baking Instructions:
Step four: When your casserole is ready bake it uncovered for 45-50 minuted until rice is cooked and casserole is bubbly.
Freezing Instructions:
Make your casserole according to directions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container for storage.
Or you can leave it in the casserole dish and cover with plastic wrap first then foil or a lid and freeze up to 3 months.

Can this be frozen?
Cooked or uncooked?
I added some freezing instructions to the post, but here is the directions. You would want to make the casserole as in the directions. Once done, transfer it to a freezer safe container and cover and freeze. Or if leaving in the casserole dish, cover that and freeze it. Because it is pretty “soupy” I would not recommend freezing this before cooking it.
I’m making this today hopefully It turns out good ty for sharing honey
