Poach the Chicken (30 minutes): In a large saucepan, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Gently place the chicken breasts in the boiling water and cook until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly before shredding with two forks.

Preheat Oven (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.

Prepare the Sauce (5 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the steamed broccoli, diced onion, and sliced mushrooms. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Assemble the Casserole (10 minutes): Spread the cooked rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the shredded chicken. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese generously over the top.
06 Step
Recipe View
Bake (35-45 minutes): Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the diced onion and sliced mushrooms in a little butter or olive oil before adding them to the sauce.
Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses, to customize the flavor.
Add a dash of garlic powder or onion powder to the sauce for enhanced flavor.
If you don't have frozen broccoli, you can use fresh broccoli florets. Steam or blanch them until crisp-tender before adding them to the sauce.
For a creamier casserole, add a splash of milk or cream to the soup mixture.
If the top of the casserole is browning too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.

Feb 6, 2025I used a rotisserie chicken instead of poaching chicken breasts, and it worked perfectly. Saved me a lot of time!

Jan 3, 2025I found the casserole a little too rich, so I used light mayonnaise and reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup. It was still delicious, but a bit healthier.
