Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole

I’ve been making this meal for MANY years. It was the first meal I learned to make, so needless to say we had it at least once a week during our first couple years of marriage. I’ve brought it back over the past year or so since the kids love it.

2 pieces of chicken OR I use crock pot chicken now (~$2)
1 Box of Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice (Original Recipe) (Free-$0.25)
1 Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup** (?)
2 heads of Broccoli ($1.50)
1 cup Cheddar Cheese ($0.25)

Boil chicken or use crock pot chicken, cook rice according to package directions (you could also use plan rice but we like the seasoning), cook broccoli. Mix together in prepared dish with cream of mushroom soup.** Top with cheese (I’ll be honest; we use about 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 cups cheese)

Bake at 350 degrees for approx 20 min or until cheese is melted.

*If freezing, skip baking step
**I used homemade cream of chicken soup this time.
