Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
- 1 ¼ cups instant rice
- 4 cups broccoli florets chopped into small pieces
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste

Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot, cook onion in butter over medium heat until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
- Stir in cream cheese, oregano, and basil and stir until the cream cheese is smooth and melted. Add chicken broth, rice, and broccoli.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and cover. Let sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Once the rice has rested and is tender, stir in chicken, sour cream, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top the casserole with cheddar and breadcrumbs (if using).
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is lightly browned.

Notes
- Using raw Chicken Breasts or Chicken Thighs: Replace cooked chicken in this recipe with 1 lb of fresh chicken. Cut into bite-sized pieces, season with salt & pepper, and pan-fry the chicken pieces in 2 teaspoons of oil over medium-high heat until no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes.
- Bake In a Casserole Dish: If you do not have a Dutch oven or oven safe pan, prepare the recipe as directed and then transfer it to a 3qt or 9x13 baking dish or pan. Bake as directed.
