Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole

 

Loving the chicken casseroles I have been finding.

These recipes are perfect for leftover chicken. 

Since I am now cooking for one, I rarely make chicken because it is cheaper and easier to buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.  The only interaction with the chicken is shredding it.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of diced rotisserie chicken or any other cooked chicken}
• 2 cups broccoli florets broken down into bite-sized pieces
• 1 can cream of chicken soup can use low-sodium or Healthy Request
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2-3/4 cup crushed corn flakes
• 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350‡F. Combine all ingredients into a greased 9×13 baking dish. I use a 9×13 because we like extra room for our corn flakes {more crunch!} but this recipe will fit into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
• Mix up all the ingredients except corn flakes and butter right in the baking dish.
• Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes over the top of the casserole.
• Drizzle melted butter over the top.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until casserole is heated through.

Notes

Using Frozen Broccoli?

I used fresh broccoli but frozen broccoli but can be substituted as long as you thaw it first.
