Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole is a classic comfort food dish that I know many of you love. When I posted this slow cooker chicken and rice, I never imagined how popular it would become. I’m so glad to have a second easy, cheesy chicken, broccoli and rice casserole to add to my meal rotation.

I also highly recommend this one pan baked ziti and this one pot Spanish chickpea chicken for easy weeknight cooking. My broccoli mac and cheese is another easy comfort food favorite.

Tips for making this One Pot Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole:

  • I like to stir a little plain Greek yogurt into the finished dish for extra creaminess. This is optional, which I’ve noted in the recipe below.
  • You’ll want to use a quick-cooking brown rice in this recipe, to make this a 30 minute meal (and ensure that the other ingredients don’t overcook while the rice cooks). I use this 10 minute brown rice.
  • You’ll need a large skillet with a lid to prepare this recipe. Mine is a 5 quart.
  • Try my Baked Chicken and Rice next!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups quick cooking brown rice, look for one that cooks in 10 minutes, I used Minute brown rice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 14.5 ounce can, 1 ¾ cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 pound broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¾ cup low fat milk
  • ¼ cup plain low fat Greek yogurt*
  • 1 cup 4 ounces grated cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large (5 quart) skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is slightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Chicken does not need to be cooked all the way through, as it will continue to cook with the rice.
  • Add the rice, garlic powder, chicken broth, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the skillet. Stir. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes more.
  • Remove lid and reduce heat to low. Stir in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the Dijon and milk. Cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes until liquid is absorbed and broccoli is crisp-tender.
  • Stir in the Greek yogurt and ½ cup of the cheese. Top with remaining cheese and serve.

Notes

*Greek yogurt is optional. It adds a little extra creaminess to the dish but feel free to leave it out.
