Chicken and broccoli sit on a bed of cheesy rice. While most casseroles are pale and soggy, this casserole retains distinct layers.
Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375F.
-
Simmer the rice in the chicken stock until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
-
Sear chicken well, there should be a nice brown crust. Remove chicken and set aside and slice when cool.
-
Grease a 9x5 casserole dish.
-
Add the rice, then 1/2 of the cheddar, the chicken, the broccoli, then top with the rest of the cheddar.
-
Bake for 30 minutes until the cheese has browned. Let rest 15 minutes before eating.
Note
-
The middle cheese layer will dissolve into the rice and give it a rich, cheesy rice flavor. This is more of a dry casserole. If the rice in the middle is not fully done, add 2 tbsp of water in the middle and let it rest.
