Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and onion mixture with the seasoning, cream of chicken soup, milk, rice, and cheese. Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
Top with the fried onions. Put into the oven uncovered for 30 minutes.
