Broccoli Rice Chicken Casserole

Simple to make, since most of it is done in the microwave. If you have leftover chicken and/or rice it's even FASTER!

Ingredients:

 

• 2T olive oil 
• 1 cup frozen seasoning blend
• 1 lb chicken cut into bite-size pieces
• 10 oz bag broccoli florets
• 3 cups cooked (leftover?) rice
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 chicken soup can of lowfat milk
• 8 oz shredded or cubed American cheese
• Seasonings & fresh herbs to taste

 Directions: 

1. Saute seasoning blend and chicken in olive oil until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. 
2. Put broccoli and a few tablespoons of water in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 5-7 minutes until tender (or use the steamable bags to save a dish). Drain water from broccoli, mix in rice, herbs, and salt/pepper to taste.
3. In another (larger) microwave safe bowl add soup, milk, and cheese & microwave 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.
4. Combine all ingredients in the cheese mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
5. Allow to sit 5-10 minutes to absorb all the cheese mixture. It thickens up like a grown up mac & cheese!

Goes great with a side of garlic bread!
