Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Rice Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 (8.8 oz) package brown Ready Rice (or microwaveable frozen rice)
- 1 c. frozen broccoli, cooked and chopped
- 1/2 c. pre-cooked chicken, finely chopped
- 1 (10 3/4 oz) can broccoli cheese soup
- 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 - 3/4 c. milk, as needed to thin
Directions:
1. First, cook the broccoli according to package directions (with a couple tablespoons of water, microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until softened). Remove from microwave and put the rice in, cooking on high for 90 seconds.
2. Meanwhile, chop the chicken and broccoli (be sure to let it cool slightly before handling).
3. In a medium bowl, mix the broccoli, chicken, and rice. Add the can of soup and stir to combine (it will be thick).
4. Pour in milk, a little at a time and stir until desired thickness is reached (I used about 3/4 c.). Stir in the shredded cheese.
5. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir one more time, and you're done! Spoon into toddler-sized containers (mine are about 4 oz. each), pop a couple in the fridge, freeze the rest, and enjoy the fact that in about 10 minutes, you just made 8 meals! Whew, now there's some working mama magic!
