Chicken broccoli rice casserole - can I freeze?

Anonymous
I'm making New York Times's chicken broccoli and rice casserole:

Can I freeze this for later? I searched the comments but did not see an answer.

Thank you.

Chicken rice and broccoli all freeze well; I would suggest cooking slightly less and then putting it in the oven for a short period of time when you reheat it so it doesn't get rubbery and dry.

Personally, we prefer the chicken rice broccoli in the instant pot: https://idonthavetimeforthat.com/instant-pot-chicken-broccoli-and-rice/

Definitely! It’s one of my favorites to freeze. It doesn’t “overcook” when you reheat. Such a nice easy thing to have on hand in the freezer!

OP here. Thank you, PPs!

One rec: freeze individual portions or small pieces. If you freeze the whole casserole it’s harder to defrost!
