Recipe Tips

- You can use leftover rice and chicken to make this casserole, which makes it a great way to use up leftovers. - If you don't have cooked chicken, you can cook some chicken breasts or thighs and shred them for this recipe. - You can use frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh if you prefer. Just make sure to steam them before adding them to the casserole. - You can use a different type of cheese instead of cheddar if you prefer. Monterey Jack or Colby Jack would also work well in this recipe.
