1. cut chicken in bite-sized pieces and saute in skillet until no longer pink. add to casserole ingredients then bake for 50 mins. @ 350 Covering the casserole with foil is fine. Have fun!
2. Cook the chicken 1st! Or use a store bought rotisserie chicken (pre-cooked) pulled apart. Remember to spray your casserole dish with PAM 1st so it does not stick as well. Foil is fine to use as a cover :) not dumb questions, you are brave to try!
3. Raw. 50 mins. will have it well cooked.
4. INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 pound broccoli florets, cooked 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup dry stuffing mix DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

6. This is a very good question. Cook and cut up the chicken first.

CATALINA CHICKEN: From DontH8Me http://www.city-data.com/forum/recipes/208866-any-good-recipes-chicken-thigh-leg-post2194031.html#post2194031 "Catalina Chicken from the thighs and legs - separate them and skin them before baking to keep the fat down, if you prefer. The recipe I use is typically for a whole chicken, so I would substitute 4 - 5 legs and thighs in this case. Take the cleaned pieces and put them in a rectangular glass baking dish. Mix one small or 1/2 large bottle of Catalina Island French salad dressing with one envelope of Lipton's French Onion Soup Mix. At this stage, depending on your preference, you could add to the pan of chicken any of the following: Onions, 1 inch dice, red/green/yellow bell pepper, 1 inch dice, and/or pineapple tidbits. Pour the sauce mix over the whole thing and swirl it around to coat all the pieces. Cover with foil to keep moist. Bake in a 375 degree oven until the chicken juices run clear. You will want to make a batch of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce from the chicken bake. My family loves this recipe and it takes less than 5 minutes to prep." 8.

8. Cooked chicken will work good. Foil is perfect to cover it with. I have to say though, 50 minutes if it is cooked is a long time. Is the rice cooked already in your recipe? http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Broccoli-Rice-Cheese-and-Chicken-Casserole/Detail.aspx?src=rss Here is another recipe to look at too if you want. I would use the one you have , but with the chicken cooked.
