This cheesy casserole is loaded with chicken and broccoli, making it an all-in-one meal the whole family will love!  With few dishes (and by “few” I mean one), it’s not only simple to put together, but also super quick to clean up.  I’ve teamed up with CHEF’S CRAFT® chicken for this recipe, because they make getting protein into recipes like this one a breeze. And for busy families like mine, having a quick and easy meat add-in for casseroles is a must!

These Grilled Chicken Breast Chunks are bite-sized, making them perfect for adding to dishes without having to slice and dice them.  You can also cook them in the microwave or in a skillet in a matter of minutes as a way to add protein-packed, juicy chicken to salads, rice bowls, etc.

Also, their flame grilled chicken breast fillets and breaded chicken breast chunk nuggets are perfect for adding to my family’s favorite chicken dishes, like Creamy Chicken Taco Soup and Chicken Nugget Casserole.

No Peek Chicken and Rice Ingredients

• Chicken:  I love to use the CHEF’S CRAFT® Grilled Chicken Breast Chunks, simply because of the ease of prep and the excellent flavor.  However, you could dice up leftover grilled chicken or use shredded rotisserie chicken, too.
• Instant White Rice – Such as “Minute Rice”
• Broccoli – You can use fresh or frozen broccoli; I find it easiest to use frozen broccoli florets as I’ve always got them on hand
• Cream of Mushroom Soup – Be sure to use this as is (do not add the extra water to make soup)
• Cream of Chicken Soup – Same here; be sure to use this as is (do not add the extra water to make soup)
• Chicken Broth – Regular or low-sodium will work great
• Shredded Cheese – I use shredded cheddar, but use whatever you’ve got on hand (cheddar, American, Colby jack, etc)

VIDEO: How to Make No Peek Chicken and Rice

Why is it called “No Peek” Chicken and Rice?

It’s exactly how it sounds – there’s no “peeking” involved!  So, once the pan goes into the oven, there’s no checking on it until the timer goes off.  This allows the moisture to stay in the casserole and the rice to cook properly!

Most “No Peek” Chicken recipes use regular rice.  However, I changed up the recipe to use instant rice and pre-cooked frozen chicken to speed up the process.  You’re welcome. 😉
