Step 2: Prepare chicken

Step 3: Make sauce

Step 4: Finish the sauce

• Add the crème fraîche and mustard to the sauce. Stir well until everything is well mixed.
• Add the fried chicken pieces back to the sauce. Stir everything together well.

Step 5: Make a casserole

• Mix the cooked rice and broccoli in an oven dish.
• Spoon the chicken and sauce mixture over the rice and broccoli in the baking dish.

Step 6: Cheese layer

• Mix the grated cheese and breadcrumbs and sprinkle evenly over the casserole.

Step 7: Baking in the oven

• Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and crispy and the dish is heated through.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
