Crock pot chicken broccoli and rice casserole
This Crock pot chicken broccoli and rice casserole features cubed chicken breast, long grain white rice, and broccoli cooked together slowly with condensed soups and chicken broth to meld flavors. The mix of savory seasonings and cheddar cheese melted on top creates a comforting one-pot meal with tender chicken, fluffy rice, and crisp-tender broccoli. It's practical for hands-off cooking and easy serving.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast cubed, boneless, skinless
- 2 cups long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 ounces, condensed
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the cubed chicken and rice in a crockpot.
- Add the condensed soups, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 - 4 hours.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and continue cooking for another hour or until the broccoli is tender and the chicken and rice are fully cooked.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover again, and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use long grain white rice to maintain texture during slow cooking; avoid quick-cooking rice to prevent mushiness.
- Add broccoli later in cooking to keep its color and texture vibrant.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated up to five days.
