This Broccoli Cheese Chicken and Rice casserole is filled with fragrant yellow rice, steamed broccoli florets, seasoned rotisserie chicken and of course, lots of cheddar cheese. The fragrant seasoned rice adds another level of flavor to this creamy one-dish meal. Use a rotisserie chicken and assemble this casserole in advance then cover and chill and it's ready to bake when you're ready to eat.
Broccoli and Cheddar Go Together In Many Ways
This broccoli cheese chicken and rice casserole is cheesy good but, then again broccoli cheese anything is always a hot favorite at our house. My Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Pot Pie, Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche are all-time family favorites. While I don't often cook with creamed soups, in this dish that's reminiscent of a chicken and rice dish my Mom made for us as kids and it really hits the spot. Everything in moderation, right? To round out the meal, add a salad and perhaps some freshly baked rolls or serve this cheesy goodness all on it's own, it's sure to fill hungry tummies without fail.

What is rotisserie chicken seasoning?
Melissa
It's exactly what it says. It's available on the spice aisle of most grocery stores. You can adapt using your favorite chicken seasoning, if you like.
