    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 9x13 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.
