Ingredients
  

Hearty Chicken & Veggie Casserole
  • 2 pounds chicken breast cooked and shredded
  • 4 cups broccoli florets steamed until tender-crisp
  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz each)
  • 1 cup milk any kind
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Add the shredded cooked chicken, steamed broccoli florets, and cooked rice to the soup mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. If freezing, let it cool completely before portioning into freezer-safe containers.
  6. For freezing: Once cooled, cover tightly with foil or a lid and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat from frozen, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until heated through, covering with foil to prevent excessive browning.

Notes

This casserole is incredibly versatile! Feel free to swap chicken with turkey or add other vegetables like carrots or peas. A sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top can add a nice crunch.
