How To Make Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Step 1: Add the water, 1/2 tablespoon of butter, salt and rice to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 2: While the rice is cooking, in a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the chicken and cook until browned. Then, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Steam the broccoli with 1/4 cup of water, on the stove top or in the microwave. You can also use the frozen microwavable steam bags that you cook in the microwave.

Step 4: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 5: In the skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium low heat. Add the flour and whisk while cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add in all the spices. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture is slightly thickened. Mix in 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese. Add the chicken, rice and broccoli to the skillet and stir to combine.
