Chicken and Shrimp with Broccoli and Cheese Casserole

Chicken and Shrimp with Broccoli and Cheese Casserole wasn't the first name for this recipe. It was originally named "Broccoli and Rice Supreme with Shrimp" and first published on November 17, 2009.

Linda Masters of Hooks, TX. first prepared and served this meal to her husband and me over 20 years ago. It is very delicious and easy to prepare. This recipe should not have been gathering dust in my recipe archives with only 29 views in 3 years. It's so good, it doesn't deserve to be hidden away. So, I have decided to change the title to create more interest.

I asked her if it was alright to share her recipe with the NEW title and she didn't mind. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks again Linda!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of cooked long-grain rice
  • 2 cups of broccoli, chopped
  • 2 boneless chicken breast, boiled and chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 (15 oz.) jars of  Cheez Whiz
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Boil the 2 chicken breast until tender (using just enough water to cover them), then chop into small bite-size pieces and set aside, but reserve the broth for later use.

In a pan, sauté the broccoli and onions in the butter until they are translucent then slowly stir-in the cream of chicken soup and the Cheez Whiz. Blend together thoroughly on low-to-medium heat for a couple minutes then add the chopped uncooked shrimp and chopped already cooked chicken. Stir and mix well.

In a large bowl add the above mixture and 3 cups of cooked long-grain rice. Mix together thoroughly until well blended. If the mixture seems too dry at this point you can resolve the problem by adding a small amount of the reserved chicken broth to moisten it.

Next, pour the entire contents in a large casserole or baking dish (9 ½ x 12 inch) and bake at 350° F. for 1 hour.

  2. Jacques I am so excited to find your website from Nick's FB page--I have been in dire need of some good Cajun recipes! Hard to come by way up here in Canada, that's for sure. I've been describing Cajun food to my husband for years, and now I can finally make him something! This website is amazing! --Julie Free

  3. I love broccoli rice with lots of cheese, adding the chicken make it that much more flavorful. I am running out to the the store as we speak to get some broccoli florets. This will be my Sunday dinner
