Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Print Recipe

A comforting, creamy bake combining tender chicken, a lush sauce, and gooey Colby Jack cheese for a rich texture. Perfect for weeknight dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position an oven rack in the center.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and additional salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 10 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, heavy whipping cream, and 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked, bite-size chicken pieces to the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  5. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days. This casserole reheats well and can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
