Print Recipe

A comforting and hearty chicken broccoli rice casserole inspired by Trisha Yearwood’s classic recipe, featuring tender chicken, fresh broccoli, creamy cheese sauce, and fluffy rice baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
Steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens and is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped onion, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and the prepared white sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed buttery crackers evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
