  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (steamed or lightly cooked)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

    • In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Stir until well combined.
    • Add the soup mixture to the chicken, rice, and broccoli. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Casserole:
    • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
    • Transfer the casserole mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
    • If using, sprinkle the crushed crackers or breadcrumbs evenly over the top for added crunch.
  • Bake:
