Broccoli Chicken Rice Casserole

2-1/2 cups minute rice, uncooked
1 large bunch broccoli or 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli spears, thawed
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 soup can milk
3 cups cooked, cubed chicken
1-1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Cook rice according to package directions.

2. Arrange broccoli on bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon rice over broccoli.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine soups and mayonnaise. Stir in enough milk to make it saucy, about 1 soup can. Add chicken, 1/2 cup cheese and salt and pepper to taste; pour over rice. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

4. Bake at 375ยบ for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Yield: 6 servings

Note: I made this last night for the first time and it was deeeelicious! However, it was definitely noticable that there was a layer of rice and a layer of broccoli and a layer of sauce. I didn't "get" that! Even my husband was like, why didn't you mix it up before you baked it? Why indeed? Next time, I will. And I suggest you do the same. :-D
