A delightful baked dish combining tender chicken, creamy cheese, and wholesome broccoli for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded cheese, milk, and mayonnaise until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish and top with the broccoli florets.
Cut the broccoli into small, even-sized florets for uniform cooking.
Pour the cheese mixture over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it evenly.
Ensure the sauce covers all the ingredients for maximum flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the top is golden brown.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the flavors to meld and makes serving easier.
