This is down home comfort food at it's finest. It was the only way my grams or mom could get me to eat my broccoli while growing up. These days I use brown rice for a lower carb, healthier version. Sometimes I also use chicken thigh instead of breast because it's so much more tender. I hope you love it was much as I do. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli |
4 cups cooked rice |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup |
10 3/4 ounces milk |
1 lb chicken breast |
6 ounces cheese whiz |
1/2 cup onion |
1/2 cup green pepper |
1/2 cup celery |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 ounces flour |
1 dash salt |
Directions:
1. Chop onions, green peppers, and celery into small pieces.
2. Fry chopped vegetables in half of the vegetable oil.
3. Cube chicken.
4. Flour and salt the chicken cubes and brown in remaining oil-add more if needed.
5. Add mushroom soup and milk and stir until mixed.
6. Butter a large baking dish
7. Add chicken mixture, cooked rice, broccoli, and remaining vegetables.
8. Stir, cover, and cook 45min in 350 degree oven.
9. Uncover, top with Cheese Whiz, return to over for 5 to 10 minutes-until cheese is completely melted.
