- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the Knorr Chicken Broccoli Rice, boiling water, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Stir in the broccoli, chicken, and onion. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake covered for 25 minutes. Carefully remove the aluminum foil. Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining Parmesan cheese and top with the mozzarella cheese.
