Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 3 cups Cooked brown rice
• 1 10.5-ounce can Gluten-free cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooling, steam the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes until they are just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Once the chicken has cooled, cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, cooked brown rice, gluten-free cream of chicken soup, and milk.

Step 8

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, another teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.

Step 9

Add 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 13

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 15

Serve hot and enjoy your Gluten-Free Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Rice Casserole.
