We can’t get enough of this cheesy rice bake stuffed with chicken, broccoli, and cheddar. The brilliance of this dish isn’t just the flavor combo—it’s the fact that you’re making it all in one pan one pan, people! Cheesy broccoli bake I make it without heavy cream? You certainly can, but it will be a very different dish.
If you’re looking to lighten it up, feel free to use whole milk instead. If dairy doesn’t sit well with you, replace the cream with another cup of chicken broth. Can I use regular bread crumbs instead of panko? We always prefer to use panko, because it is much more light and crisp than classic breadcrumbs. Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
2 cup chicken broth, and keep a little extra on the side to add in case the skillet is looking dry. One of our favorite twists is adding a couple strips of cooked, crumbled bacon. Want to make a simpler addition? Finish the casserole with some finely sliced scallions or chives!
