Broccoli, Rice, and Chicken Casserole

chicken tenderloins (cut into 1-inch cubes, uncooked)

white rice, (uncooked OR instant rice (different types of rice will yield very different cook times. I used sushi rice. Due to the number of folks who have tried this recipe & still say their rice is crunchy, I highly suggest you use instant rice))

whole milk

: 10.75 ounce can of cream of chicken

frozen broccoli florets, (thawed)

extra sharp cheddar cheese, (shredded)

sleeve Ritz crackers, (crushed)
