Chicken (broccoli) and rice casserole

My mom made this casserole and sometimes I crave it. But it calls for the “can of cream of X soup”.
SO about 5 years ago I was searching for a GF alternative to "Cream of X Soup”
And All I could find were these complicated recipes that made WAY too much soup.
I only needed ONE can for this recipe.
Most ended up with 6 to 9 cans worth!
I have found recipes for Cream of soup mix, where you concoct a powder that is cupboard safe for a year, and makes like 9 cans worth. 9 CANS! That comes to 36 servings of casserole! WAY TOO MUCH.
SO I extrapolated this recipe from what I learned about “cream of X soup” and my mother’s casserole recipe.

Hope you enjoy.

Chicken (broccoli) and rice casserole

4 chicken breasts
1C cold water
½ C mayonnaise-GF of course
½ C Parmesan
4 Tb powdered milk
4 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp chicken bouillon-GF of course
2/3 C rice
10oz broccoli


Preheat oven 350
Spray with oil a 9X13pan
Pour in rice.
Mix: water, mayo, cheese, milk, starch, bouillon.
Pour half of mix over rice.
Add chicken & Broccoli
Top with remaining mixture.
Cover with foil.
Bake 1 hour.
I like to remove the foil, Top with more cheese and let it sit in oven to melt cheese.
