A delicious and filling casserole of broccoli, chicken, cheese, and rice. Because the sauce is made without butter or cream, the casserole is low in fat while still remaining incredibly creamy. Make the sauce with chicken broth, thicken it with flour and grated cheddar, pour the sauce over the broccoli and grilled chicken and cooked rice mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan, and bake. Grilled chicken has a distinctly spicy flavor and aroma that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients in the casserole. Use both white and dark meat for texture and rich flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Combine the flour and broth in a large saucepan and whisk until the flour is dissolved. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil; continue whisking until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10-12 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the cheddar and stir until melted. Add the broccoli florets and stir.
- Combine the brown rice and chicken in a large bowl. Top with the broccoli-cheese sauce and toss well. Pour the mixture into the dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake until the casserole is bubbling and heated through, about 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and broil until the top is golden brown, 2-5 minutes. Serve hot.
