Our Recipe for this month: 

Dump-and-Bake Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole A delicious, easy, healthy, and comforting casserole made with chicken, broccoli, and rice. 

Prep Time 5 

Cook Time 1 

Total Time 1 5 hour 

Ingredients 

1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup 

¾ cup water 

1 cup uncooked long grain white rice 

1 lb. uncooked chicken breast or tenders, 

1 (12.6 oz) bag frozen baby broccoli florets (or cuts) 

Optional topping: ½ cup - 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 

Kosher salt and ground black pepper, 

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. 

Add cream of chicken soup and water to the prepared dish. Whisk together until completely combined. 

Stir in uncooked rice, uncooked chicken, and frozen broccoli. Season with about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper (or add other herbs and spices to suit your taste). Stir again. 

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the liquid is absorbed, the rice is tender, and the chicken is cooked through. Use a fork to fluff the rice. If desired, sprinkle the top of the casserole with grated cheese and return to the oven for a few more minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
