- 2 cups water
- 2 cups uncooked instant rice
- 2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
- 1 (10.75oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.75oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (16oz) package frozen chopped broccoli
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 1 pound processed cheese food, (such as Velveeta)
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.) In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Mix in the instant rice, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
3.) In a 9×13 baking dish, mix the prepared rice, chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, butter, milk, broccoli, onion, and processed cheese.
4.) Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Stir halfway through cooking to help cheese melt evenly.
This recipe is a great way to get your little munchkins to eat broccoli! 
- 4 cups cooked rice, (I usually use brown rice)
- 3 cups cooked chicken, (this is about 3 breasts, see my Chicken Noodle Soup recipe for easy, moist preparation)
- 3 cups fresh cut-up broccoli (or frozen works almost as well)
- Make White Sauce using this amazingly easy microwave recipe (double it for use in this dish)
- 3/4 cup mayo
- 1 to 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 Tb lemon juice
- salt
- 1.5 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press rice into a 9×13 pan.
2.) Sprinkle the cooked chicken over the rice.
3.) If you are using fresh, (not frozen) broccoli, lightly steam it first. You want it to still have some crunch, since it’ll be cooking again in the casserole.
4.) Spread the steamed broccoli over the rice and chicken.
(I think I went a little overkill here on the broccoli, but we all like broccoli here and I happened to have a lot on hand!)
5.) Take the white sauce you made using the amazing microwave recipe, (which I forgot to do!) and add mayo, lemon juice, salt and curry powder, (to your taste.)

| I know I have enough curry powder for our tastes when it’s about this color after stirring thoroughly |
6.) Spread the sauce over the rice, chicken and broccoli
7.) When your eager toddler begs to “help?!” and drags a chair into the kitchen all by her little self, let her sprinkle the cheddar over the top
She will love you forever. 
8.) Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top.
This is one of our favorite meals and I love having it in the freezer ready to pop in the oven on a busy day!

YUM! My chicken divan recipe is a mix between these two – it has soup, mayo & sour cream for the "sauce", plus the yummmmmmmy curry powder. But I've never used rice – mine is sometimes served over angelhair pasta but often we just serve it with crusty bread to soak up the sauce!! Love your blog – can't wait to check out more of it! New follower from the Alexa hop – stop by & say hi if you have time!

Warmly, Kelly
What are the instructions for baking this from a frozen state? Thanks!
Cindee, if I’m baking it straight out of the freezer, I usually do it at 300 degrees, covered, for approx 2.5 hours!
