BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole image

This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.

My friend Christy and I were watching some movies one night and at intermission, decided it was dinner time. Her little boy, Damian was quite the picky tyke and we knew that feeding him would be what we based our meal on. Well, this was something we'd been meaning to try, so we gave it a go. Four adult and two little thumbs up! Easy, one large skillet, and not a lot of dishes to wash. It was also quick. This is something to throw together after working in the field all day too.

  • Season Your Chicken Well: Don't be afraid to season your chicken generously. This will help it develop a delicious flavor.
  • Cook Your Chicken Properly: Make sure your chicken is cooked all the way through before adding it to the skillet. This will help prevent any foodborne illnesses.
