How to Make Creole Chicken Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large casserole dish (9x13 inch), combine 1 ½ cups of uncooked long-grain rice, 2 cups of chopped broccoli florets, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of chicken broth, and 1 ½ teaspoons of Cajun seasoning.
  3. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) on top of the rice mixture.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of Cajun seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove from oven and top the casserole with 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
