Chicken, Rice, Cheese and Broccoli Casserole

I've been wanting to try to make a recipe like this for a while since the hubby isn't a fan of chicken I thought he might like it at least with the rice. And he did :) He is on a broccoli/cheese kick lately so here's the latest recipe!

1 pkg chicken (3-4 boneless skinless breasts)
3/4 c chicken broth
3/4 c rice
1 pkg frozen broccoli florets
1/4 c lemon juice
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of broccoli soup (or broccoli cheese)
Salt/Pepper

Mix all ingredients but the chicken and put in a square baking dish. Season chicken with salt and pepper (and anything else you might like). Put on top of rice mixture. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.

My suggestions - not sure what size baking dish I was using, I think just a standard size one and the rice mixture didn't even coat the bottom of it barely so I might up the quantity of everything slightly next time. I also seasoned my chicken with garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper - I put it on the george foreman for about 4 minutes just to start it cooking although the recipe didn't call for it. Finally, I added some shredded cheddar cheese on top to make it even cheesier! :)
