This was very good. Easy to put together and tasty. I also mixed everything together. I sauted an onion and threw that into the mix with broccoli, chicken and rice. I also upped the rice to 2 cups. I used a 1 pound bag of broccoli florets and stems. Rather than use the milk, flour and butter I used a can of 98% FF Cream of Chicken soup and just mixed that with the chicken and rice mixture. Topped it off with sour cream and then cheese. Baked uncovered the entire time (about 30 minutes). This seems to freeze well also. Good comfort food without all the guilt. Thanks for posting.

Very good! The topping is thick, creamy and rich (I even used light sour cream). For simplicity sake, I didn't layer. I mixed the broccoli, rice, chicken, half of the cheese (and I added onion) all together. Then I poured the sauce and later, remaining cheese on top as directed. Thanx for posting this. I will make this again when I have leftover chicken and/or rice!

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
