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 chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
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 chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed buttery crackers and grated Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
