Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (canned or rotisserie works)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cooked chicken, thawed broccoli, cooked rice, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the soup mixture. Mix everything until it is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. If using, sprinkle the crushed butter crackers over the cheese layer.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly throughout and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it. This dish is a great alternative to using meal planning services.

Notes

  • You can prepare this casserole up to 2 days ahead. Cover it tightly and refrigerate. Add about 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • For a shortcut, use canned chicken. If you prefer fresh, cook 1 pound of chicken breast and shred it before using.
  • If you are looking for ways to simplify your routine beyond this recipe, look into meal delivery companies for inspiration.
