Trisha Yearwood's Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Casserole

Cathy and Kate's adaptation from Making Memories...One Fun Thing After Another

Ingredients

  • 3 – 4 cups cooked rice

  • 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed (I poached the breasts in chicken broth and wine.)

  • 4 cups cooked broccoli cut into medium size pieces (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 10-ounce can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 tablespoon minced onion

  • 1 teaspoon Worchestershire Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

  • 4 cups cheddar cheese, grated (half mixed into the sauce, half sprinkled on top)

  • 2 Tbsp sherry

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole with cooking spray. Layer cooked rice, broccoli and chicken in the pan.

  3. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and chicken soup. Add 2 cups of the grated cheese and mix well. Pour over the rice mixture. Top with the remaining grated cheese.

  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes until bubbly and browned.
