Cheesy Chicken Rice and Broccoli Casserole

I was really craving comfort food tonight, and this was the perfect way to rid myself of that craving. I've always been a big fan of the packaged rice dishes, so I thought I'd try my hand at making something similar to my favorite one which is the broccoli cheddar rice.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked whole grain rice
• 2 cups cooked, diced chicken
• 2 cups chopped fresh or frozen broccoli
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
• 1 1/4 cup condensed cream of chicken soup (or 1 can store-bought)
• 1 1/4 c. milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper

Directions:
Mix rice, chicken, broccoli, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, soup, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour into a 9x13 pan and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until casserole is hot and cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!
