One Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole – Comfort Food Made Simple


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¾ cup uncooked rice

  • 1 (10-ounce) can cream of chicken soup

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the chopped onion and cubed chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken starts to brown and is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add the uncooked rice, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

  6. Stir in the broccoli florets and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the broccoli is tender.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole.

  8. Place the skillet under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown slightly.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
