Day 6 of Countdown to Christmas is another comfort food! Cheesy Broccoli Chicken and Rice Casserole! This dish is so creamy, cheesy, and comforting, its everything you need on a cold winter day!

INGREDIENTS:
2 chicken breasts, cubed and cooked
2 heads of broccoli, chopped (or you can use a 16oz bag of frozen broccoli, thawed)
2 cups of cooked rice
1 can of cream of chicken soup
3/4 cups of half and half or milk
8oz of Gouda, shredded
8oz of sharp cheddar, shredded
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 tsp of oregano
2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
2 tsp of salt
2 tsp of black pepper
Cayenne Pepper, optional

RECIPE NOTES:
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 2530 minutes or until cheese is melted bubbly around the edges.
If using fresh broccoli, sauté or steam for 23 minutes before mixing in casserole.
Feel free to use whatever cheese combination you like! I personally enjoy cheeses that are sharp and have a nice bite to them, especially when paired with broccoli.
I recommend using block cheese and shredding it yourself rather than preshredded cheese, simply because block cheese melts better.
Top with red pepper flakes like I did for an extra kick!

Enjoy!!
