Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
• 1 1/4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add soup, 1 cup cheese, milk, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add cooked rice and broccoli, stirring until combined. Spoon into prepared pan. Sprinkle with crushed crackers and remaining ¼ cup cheese.
Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
