Chicken Alfredo & Broccoli Rice Casserole

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

This cheesy, creamy rice casserole is full of flavor and exactly what you’re looking for when you need a delicious, quick meal with little to no effort. Packages of microwaveable rice help to expedite the cooking process, but leftover rice works well too as an easy swap.

Ingredients:
  • 6 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cups microwaveable cooked brown rice
  • 1 1/4 cups prepared alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 (1 1/4-pound) package diced chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon salt-free onion-and-herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8-ounce) package shredded italian cheese blend
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Stir broccoli, rice, Alfredo sauce, half-and-half and flour together in the prepared dish until well combined.
  2. Top the mixture evenly with chicken; sprinkle with onion-and-herb seasoning, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cover tightly with foil.
  3. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 165℉ and the cheese is melted, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
