Ingredients | Recipes With Chicken And Broccoli Casserole

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon salt-free seasoning blend

2 large heads broccoli, cut into small florets

½ sweet onion, chopped

3 ½ cups water

2 tablespoons margarine (Optional)

2 (5.4 ounce) packages herb and butter-flavored rice side dish (such as Knorr® Herb & Butter Rice Sides)

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

1 cup mayonnaise

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend

2 teaspoons garlic powder

¼ teaspoon curry powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt-free seasoning, and pan-fry in the hot oil until lightly browned on both sides, about 10 minutes per side. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces, and set aside.

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil. Place the broccoli florets and sweet onion into the steamer basket, cover pan, and steam until broccoli turns bright green and is barely tender, about 3 minutes.

In a large saucepan, bring 3 1/2 cups of water to a boil, and stir in the margarine until it melts. Pour in the contents of the two packages of rice side dish, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until rice is tender, 7 to 10 minutes; turn off heat, and allow to stand covered for 2 minutes.

Transfer cooked rice into a large mixing bowl, and stir in the chicken, broccoli, and onion. Mix in the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, 2 cups of Cheddar cheese, parsley, 2 teaspoons of salt-free seasoning, garlic powder, curry powder, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until thoroughly combined. Adjust salt and black pepper. Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, and sprinkle 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake in preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Please adjust the amount of spices according to your own preferences, especially the amount of curry powder.
