  • Frying Pan
  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cups rice cooked
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup or homemade cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/2 cup Panko
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, add the butter and onion. Sauté over medium-high heat until the onion is almost tender, about three to five minutes.
  • Add the broccoli and sauté until they start to soften, about three to four minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed broccoli and onion mixture with the cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and the diced chicken. Stir until well combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the Panko, parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
  • Sprinkle the Panko mixture generously on top of the casserole.
  • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
