Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  6. Stir the rice/broccoli and turn the heat off. Add the cooked chicken, soup, milk, sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese.
  7. Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish and pour in the rice mixture.
  8. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
  9. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Add the Topping:
  11. Melt the butter and crumble up the crackers. Combine to form the topping for the casserole.
  12. Top the casserole with the crumbled cracker topping and bake uncovered for 10 additional minutes.
  13. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes prior to serving.
