Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli-Rice Casserole

Broccoli Chicken Brown Rice Casserole

Date: December 30th, 2013 (last meal cooked in 2013!)

Recipe: http://iowagirleats.com/2013/10/02/skinny-cheesy-chicken-and-broccoli-rice-casserole/

Modifications:  I didn’t modify TOO much, but used regular sour cream and 2% milk, thus negating the “skinny” in the original recipe title. I also made it way earlier in the day so instead of just a quick broil, we baked it for about 30 minutes.

Time to table: 60 minutes prep (but some of that time was just the wild rice being made), 30 minutes baking

Servings: 13×9 pan, so quite a bit

Notes: Next time I’ll definitely steam the broccoli separately, steaming it in with the rice definitely didn’t get done, so then I added more water and then the rice got slightly overdone. I’d also chop the broccoli up a lot more, which is just a personal preference. That would be the only thing I’d do differently – this was a great comfort food meal, the kids ate it really well. It wasn’t something they devoured or asked for seconds of, but it was a solid family meal. (Also, can you tell we found a new favorite food blog?? Good to have some more variety!!)
