Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup white rice, cooked
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup buttery cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, broccoli florets, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and garlic powder.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the buttery cracker crumbs.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute cooked turkey for the chicken. For a healthier profile, use reduced-fat sour cream and cream soup. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
