Chicken Broccoli Casserole

An easy casserole to throw together that bakes up beautifully and is totally delicious. And yes, you guessed it, this is another yummy recipe from my friend 'Holly Homemaker'.

Chicken Broccoli Casserole


3 cups cooked rice
3 chicken breasts, cooked & diced OR 1 pint home canned chicken
1 bunch broccoli cut up OR 1 (16. oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli, steamed**
Sauce:
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c. milk
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
crushed cornflakes
melted butter (optional)

Spread cooked rice over the bottom of a greased 9x13 casserole dish. Top with the cooked chicken, then the steamed broccoli. Mix ingredients for sauce in a small bowl, then pour over rice mixture. Mix everything together slightly. If using the butter, toss it with the crushed cornflakes, then sprinkle them over top of the casserole. Bake at 350* F degrees for 30-45 minutes or until casserole is heated through and sauce bubbles. Makes about 8 servings.
*When I made this, I tossed my crushed cornflakes with 3-4 TBSP. melted butter before I sprinkled them over top of the casserole.

**Steaming the broccoli before adding it to the casserole will give you perfectly cooked broccoli every time, and the resulting casserole a sure fire hit.
