    Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice Casserole is a one pan meal the entire family will love! Budget friendly and family approved, this is a flavor packed dish!

    cheesy shredded chicken, tender broccoli and rice combined into a one pan meal

    Last week, we had my parents in town AND my son’s baseball game. Since things were crazy busy, I decided to throw this casserole together in the morning and have it ready to go before baseball that evening.

    Do you love casseroles? I sure do, but I think sometimes they get a bad rap. People think of them as something mom, or grandma used to make. But casseroles are back!

    What is making them so popular again? People are busier than ever these days and are looking to save time when it comes to meal preparation. Casseroles are just the thing for that!

    Check out these other great casserole options:

    Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

    Chicken Teriyaki Casserole

    This dish took me about 10 minutes to put together, and fed my family, my parents, and still had enough leftover for two lunches the next day.

    The kids loved this because of the cornflake “cereal” topping (their word choice, haha). It was very flavorful and it was an all in one casserole since it had veggies, rice, and chicken already in it.

    This is definitely the perfect go to casserole on those busy evenings!!And to make the night even better, my son’s team won the game! See, this casserole is even good luck, haha!!
