Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
- If using boneless skinless chicken breasts, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temp).
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Rice & Broccoli
- In the same skillet, add water, cream of chicken soup and Minute® Instant White Rice. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
- Once the rice is cooked, mix in the cooked chicken and broccoli.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan for extra flavor!
Time Saving Tips: If using frozen broccoli florets, add them to the pot 5 minutes before the rice is done to soften.
Use rotisserie chicken instead of fresh baked chicken to cut down on cooking time.
