  • 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) halal-friendly cream of chicken soup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, and cooked rice to the bowl. Stir gently to coat everything in the sauce.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer for a satisfying crunch.
  8. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. You will know it is ready when the sauce is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
