Short Description
A comforting casserole of tender chicken, broccoli, and rice baked in a creamy cheddar sauce and topped with a golden crust.
Ingredients
1 lb rice, cooked
12 oz chicken breast, cooked and diced
1 cup frozen broccoli
8 oz heavy cream
2 oz water
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 dash house seasoning
1 teaspoon chicken base
Slurry
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and bake it on a greased sheet pan for 20 minutes.
Cook the rice using a steamer or on the stovetop. The steamer will take 35 minutes. Meanwhile, on the stove, combine the cream, chicken base, broccoli, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.
Thicken the sauce with a slurry until it coats the back of a spoon. Keep the sauce on medium heat to thicken. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 3 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl, add the sauce, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the mixture in a casserole dish and heat for 20 minutes at 350°F.
