Begin by cooking and preparing the chicken if not already. This chicken can be seasoned with your choice of seasonings or lemon pepper. Then it can be grilled, air fried, or seared.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, add it to a bowl and add the lemon juice to the chicken. Mix this well and set aside.
Add the cooked rice to the bowl with the chicken.
Steam the frozen broccoli or thaw out per the package instructions.
Add the broccoli to the bowl with the chicken and rice.
Add in the mayo, sour cream, and cream of mushroom to the bowl. Mix this well to fully coat all ingredients.
Using a 9x13 baking dish, spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Add half of the chicken mixture to the bottom of the pan, spread it evenly.
Top the chicken with 1 cup of each type of cheese and then repeat the layers.
Add the chili powder to the top of the last layer of cheese.
Bake in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve.
Notes
If you want to add a crunch to this recipe, add breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs before placing in the oven.This chicken is great served with gluten-free crackers.The rice will need to be a total of 2 cups that have been cooked, this means most like you would cook 1 cup of rice, once it expands it will amount to 2-3 cups. Check the package that you are using for your rice before cooking, but the amount needed in the recipe will be 2 cups of cooked rice.
