Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Bake

Ok so this is my favorite recipe on here... I just have problems making the rice steam correctly, as other comments have said. I start by cooking the rice in the chicken broth, and about 5 minutes before the rice would typically be done, I dump the whole thing into the casserole dish. I also use a pound of chicken breast tenderloins for more servings.

As per the recommendation of another user, I set the temperature to 400, and decided to add an additional 1/2 can of Cream of Chicken to the mixture. I premixed everything in a large bowl before spreading it in the casserole dish. This just mixed the ingredients evenly and soaked the rice so that it cooked thoroughly. Delicious! A great meal for the family.

Delicious! Made step by step!

So this recipe overall tasted good. But the rice definitely did not cook right. It was still pretty crunchy even though I added all the right ingredients. I ended up baking it for like three hours which made the chicken kinda tough. I don’t know what went wrong but it seemed like a pretty big effort for little result
