Rice Options:
We like to give our chicken and broccoli casserole a bit more body by adding some rice. We typically opt for long-grain white rice, but you can also feel free to use:
Brown or whole grain riceQuinoa
Cheese Options:
We love the addition of cheese in this easy chicken broccoli casserole. It works alongside the cream for ooey gooey results that we can’t get enough of! We use Colby Jack, but you can also use:
CheddarMonterey JackPepper Jack (for a bit of added spice)
Vegetable Add-Ins:
If you want to make this dish a bit heavier on the veggies, you can add in a few extras:
MushroomsGreen beansPeas
Don’t be afraid to get creative!
Frozen vs. Fresh Broccoli:
We always prefer working from fresh vegetables, but if you have frozen on hand, you can feel free to use that instead. Be aware that you may have to let it cook for a bit longer. The broccoli will be fork tender and warm when it’s ready. We recommend that you test it so that you know whether it is cooked through or not!
Troubleshooting: My Sauce is Too Thick
If the heat was a little too hot, or perhaps your dish was really wide and there was too much evaporation, add a bit more broth 1/4 cup at a time until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions for Creamy Chicken Broccoli Casserole:
Believe us — this meal is really hearty when served on its own. That said, if you want to create a real feast, you could round it out by serving it alongside:
Salad: Classic Caesar or pea shoot salad with fresh lemon vinaigrette Vegetables: Perfect roasted asparagus or Parmesan roasted cauliflower Bread: Breadsticks or garlic bread
Reheating and Storage Instructions:
Do you love leftovers as much as we do? You can store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will keep for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat the leftovers in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through.
