CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI AND RICE CASSEROLE

This Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole is sure to become a new family favorite! Made with rotisserie chicken, this time-saving recipe is perfect for weeknights!
I decided to mix it up a bit last night and after spotting the gigantic bag of broccoli in the fridge that I had picked up at Costco over the weekend. I knew a cheesy broccoli version was the way to go.
Now this casserole recipe would totally fit in a 9×9 or even an 8×8 baking dish but one of our favorite parts of this recipe is the corn flake topping. We like as much topping as we can get so we use a 9×13 baking dish. It’s amazing! I drizzle a little bit of melted butter right over the cornflakes before throwing it in the oven – heavenly!
This yummy, cheesy casserole is pure comfort food that is perfect for busy weeknights. I used rotisserie chicken in my recipe, but any cooked chicken will work perfectly. It’s a great way to use up leftovers! I think the broccoli and cheese version of this casserole was a huge success with my family and a great variation to our go-to recipe.

Recipe type: Entree
Serves: Serves 6-8
Ingredients
- 2 cups of diced rotisserie chicken {or any other cooked chicken}
- 2 cups broccoli florets, broken down into bite-sized pieces
- 1 can cream of chicken soup {can use low-sodium or Healthy Request}

- 1½ cups shredded cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½-3/4 cup crushed corn flakes
- 2 tbsp Challenge butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients into a greased 9x13 baking dish. I use a 9x13 because we like extra room for our corn flakes {more crunch!} but this recipe will fit into an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
- Mix up all the ingredients except corn flakes and butter right in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes over the top of the casserole.
- Drizzle melted butter over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until casserole is heated through.
