Casserole Topping






  • 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed

  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter









Instructions






  1.      Note: These instructions were updated on 1/26/20 to include
    an improved cooking method that allows you to cook and assemble this casserole
    in a single pot before transferring to a casserole dish. (Quicker, easier, less
    dirty dishes.)

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  3. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with desired
    amount of salt and pepper.

  4. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat
    until melted. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5
    minutes. Remove and set aside. Note: This step is not needed if using a cooked
    rotisserie chicken.

  5. Add the chicken broth and rice to the pot and bring to a
    boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover tightly for 7 minutes.

  6. Remove the lid and use a silicone spatula to give it a stir
    and loosen it from the bottom. Add the broccoli florets and replace the lid.
    Cook for more 8 minutes.

  7. Stir the rice/broccoli and turn the heat off. Add the cooked
    chicken, soup, milk, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, 1 tsp dried thyme,
    1/2 tsp garlic powder.

  8. Lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish and pour in the rice
    mixture.

  9. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.

  10. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.









































Add the Topping:






  1. Melt the butter and crumble up the crackers. Combine to form
    the topping for the casserole.

  2. Top the casserole with the crumbled cracker topping and bake
    uncovered for 10 additional minutes.

  3. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes prior to serving.
