I shredded half a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, but otherwise made it as written. It was almost too good. I think I had three servings. I'm sure I will be making this again and again. Next time, I may experiment by adding chopped celery and brown rice.

Wow! I've tried lots of chicken, broccoli, & cheese casseroles on this website (all of which used soups which I don't like to do because of the sodium and/or taste) and this one blew them out of the water! I used a broccoli/carrot cheese rice blend, and added more fresh broccoli and mushrooms...SO GOOD and filling!

This is a really easy good recipe. The baking at the end makes the brown rice soft and delicious (sometimes tricky to accomplish). I added spinach and asparagus to get some added nutrition. I also used a Tbsp of "Better then Bouillon" which if you haven't used is way better then any broth bouillon or otherwise. Also I didn't want to use a cup of cheddar cheese so I used a quarter of parmesan instead. YUM!

Best casserole EVER! Even my picky 12 year old daughter ate thirds. Try topping with French Fried Onions during the last 15 minutes for a little extra kick. Thank you for this great recipe. Will make it often.

i loved this recipe and so did my family. i did put my own twist on it. i used 1c milk & 1c chicken broth instead of bullillon cubes. chopped and sauteed celery, carrots, & onions. mixed sauce, chicken, & veggies together. and topped with cheese cubes & buttered bread crumbs. i didn't use mushrooms. reminded me of chicken pot pie. GREAT COMFORT FOOD!!! will use again & again!!!

I think this is a great base recipe that can be customized in almost endless ways. I made it a little lighter by using fat-free milk, reduced-fat cheddar, light spread, and brown rice. I also used canned mushrooms that I diced and sauted beforehand along with onion and celery. I added a handful or two green peas and used two packs of pre-cooked diced Tyson chicken. Finally, I topped everything with breadcrumbs before baking. It came out really moist and flavorful, and I look forward to making it again!

We used leftover turkey to make this. It was a very quick meal but pretty bland. I did sub some cooked broccoli instead of the mushrooms because that is what I had on hand. Overall, average for us.
