2 cups water
2 cups uncooked instant rice
20 ounces canned chunk chicken, drained
1 can (10.75 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10.75 ounce size) cream of chicken soup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Bring the water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once at a boil, cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed then fluff with a fork.

Combine the rice, chicken, soups, butter, milk, broccoli, onion, and cheese in a bowl. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.
