    Can I use frozen broccoli instead? Will it be the same?

      Yes, you can use frozen broccoli! Just make sure to thaw and drain it first. It should turn out great!

    Gr8 recipe, easy to make. I didn’t have sour cream so I used yogurt. Worked fine.

    Instead of chicken, I used tofu. Still good!

      I love that you used tofu! Even better for the environment. Can’t wait to try it your way!

    2. 2 stars
      Tofu? Really? I don’t know how that would taste. Isn’t chicken better for flavor?

    Heard this is good, but I think it’s too basic. Where’s the spices? Only garlic powder? Come on people!

    Just made this, but I used quinoa instead of rice. Still worked out great, I think! Not sure if that’s allowed tho.

    Could add chicken and rice to anything and make it better. Not a fan of brocolli tho but I guess I can survive it.

      Broccoli’s not so bad! Maybe you just need to try it different ways. I think it adds a nice crunch! 😄

    Sorry, this ain’t my thing. Tasted kinda bland to me.

      Gotta agree with ya, it’s not the most exciting dish. Needs more spices or something.

      I tried this and it was terrible! The flavors didn’t blend at all. Maybe it’s just me, but I won’t be making it again.

    I tried this recipe, but my broccoli turned mushy. What did I do wrong? I’m not sure I would make this again.

  28. 2 stars
    I don’t understand why this recipe is so popular. It was kinda bland to me. Maybe I should have added more spices?

    1. User avatar willie.weimann97 says:

      I get what you mean! I think adding more spices could definitely help. I usually throw in a bit of paprika or cayenne for some kick!

    2. User avatar Jena Grant says:

      Bland? Nah, I thought it was awesome! Maybe you just need to be more adventurous with flavors. Ever tried it with hot sauce?

    Too much cheese! Yikes! I won’t make it again.

    I love broccoli rice casserole! But can’t cook chicken. Can I use tuna?
