Ingredients
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
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Steam the broccoli florets until tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and 3/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cheese layer.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
