½ tsp Cajun seasoning

Directions

Step 3

Now for the cheese sauce. In the same pan add evaporated milk, heavy cream, seasonings, and slowly whisk in half of both cheeses. This recipe will work best if you shred your own cheese, but it is optional.

1 ½ cups evaporated milk

2 cups heavy cream

½ tsp Garlic powder

½ tsp Onion powder

½ tsp Kinders buttery garlic and herb

½ tsp Cajun seasoning

16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

16 ounces Colby jack cheese, shredded.

Step 4

Dice up your chicken into bite size pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, add in cooked rice, broccoli, chicken, and cheese sauce, mix this together well.

24 ounces steamed broccoli

9 cups cooked jasmine rice (3 cups uncooked rice yields 9 cups cooked)

Step 6

Add mixture to a greased baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, broil at the end for 2 minutes (give or take depending on your oven) to get the cheese on top nice and crispy.

Step 7

Let it cool and enjoy!
