Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1 ½ cups uncooked instant rice

  • 2 large cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of broccoli soup

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, stir, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
