FAQs
Can I Make This Casserole in Advance?
Absolutely! You can assemble the casserole a day ahead, cover it tightly with foil, and refrigerate until ready to bake. When baking, add an extra 5-10 minutes to the bake time since it will start cold.
Can I Freeze Broccoli Rice Cheese and Chicken Casserole?
Yes, this casserole freezes well! Assemble the casserole but hold off on baking. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
Can I Use Cauliflower Instead of Broccoli?
Yes, cauliflower is a great substitute for broccoli if that’s what you have on hand. It pairs well with cheese and chicken and keeps the same creamy texture in the casserole.
What Can I Serve With This Casserole?
This dish is a full meal in itself, but pairing it with a light side salad or some crusty bread can add a nice contrast to the creamy texture.
Pairing Suggestions
For a well-rounded meal, serve this casserole with a fresh garden salad or roasted green beans. For drinks, white wine, such as Chardonnay, or a light sparkling water with lemon complements the rich cheese and chicken flavors.
