A comforting and flavorful casserole combining tender chicken, wild rice, and broccoli in a creamy sauce, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the casserole.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they are fragrant and translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and white wine Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the sauce is smooth and evenly mixed for a consistent flavor.
Add the cooked chicken, wild rice, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the broccoli florets.
Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps the flavors meld together.
