Assembling and Baking the Casserole
Step 5: Combine the Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken and cooked broccoli. Add the cheesy rice, then stir in the cream of onion soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, and heavy cream. Blend everything until smooth and well combined.
Step 6: Assemble the Casserole
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top if you prefer a crunchy finish.
Step 7: Bake
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until it’s bubbly and lightly browned on top.
Serve warm and enjoy a comforting, cheesy meal that’s perfect for family dinners or weeknight gatherings!
