Chicken Broccoli and Rice Bake
Today, I have one of those great all in one meals. You could call it casserole, but “bake” seems to be the new PC name for the good old “casserole” recipe. This dish is a creamy and comforting casserole – which makes it more likely for my family to eat the broccoli in it. It also helps that this Chicken Broccoli and Rice Bake uses chopped broccoli instead of florets. This one is one that you can freeze and save for later too!
To make this chicken broccoli and rice bake, melt some butter in a skillet. Cook some onion in the butter until tender. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Next, combine the onion mixture from the skillet along with soups and sour cream. Then mix in the cooked chicken, cooked rice, frozen chopped broccoli (thawed), cheese, thyme along with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes at 350 degrees until brown and bubbly. This is such a wonderful comforting dish!
