Ingredients

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 cups cooked rice or quinoa prepared according to package directions
  • 3 cups shredded chicken use rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken or even canned chicken
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine cream of chicken, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, milk, and salt & pepper.
  2. Gently stir in rice, chicken, and broccoli.
  3. When evenly covered in sauce, spoon the mixture into a 9x13 glass baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven, sprinkle with cheese, and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  5. Serve with salt, pepper, and lemon juice for garnish.

Notes

  • To make this dish ahead, prepare as directed, but instead of baking cover the dish and keep it in the fridge for up to two days. Remove the casserole dish from the fridge while the oven is preheating. Bake for an extra 5-10 minutes to ensure it is heated through before serving.
  • This is an easy dish to store in the refrigerator. Simply cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for four to five days. When ready to reheat, place back in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook until warmed up. If using a microwave, cook in 45-second intervals or until it is warmed through.
  • Note: A previous version of this recipe included cooking the broccoli before adding to the casserole. We have found that it is better to put it in uncooked. It keeps some of its crispiness.
