Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

2 cups fresh broccoli florets (or frozen)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cream of chicken soup (or homemade)

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon olive oil (for greasing)

½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Broccoli: If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch the florets in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until bright green; then drain and set aside. If using frozen, simply thaw.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

        Grease the Casserole Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

          Transfer Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

            Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese over the top for a crunchy texture.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and the top is lightly golden.

                Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy and cheesy casserole!
