Are you looking for quick and easy family dinner recipes on a budget? Your picky kids are going to love this creamy casserole! You can use brown or white rice, plus the veggies of your choice. I've made the recipe extra lazy thanks to canned chicken and frozen vegetables.
2cupsfrozen broccoli (thawed & cut into bite size pieces)
2cupscooked rice(white or brown)
1(10.5oz)can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2cupsour cream
2cupsshredded cheddar cheese
2cupscrushed corn flakes
4tbspbutter(melted)
salt, pepper, & garlic powder to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients EXCEPT for the corn flakes and melted butter.
Press the mixture down into your greased baking dish and then sprinkle the crushed corn flakes over top.
Evenly drizzle with melted butter.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until it's heated through and the corn flake topping is golden brown.
Notes
1-2 (10oz) cans of drained chicken will also work! That seems to be the more common size, but I buy the larger cans from Costco. You can alternatively use about 2 cups of any cooked chicken including rotisserie or grilled.
I recommend Instant rice if you're looking for a quick meal. Two cups of rice only takes about 10 minutes to prepare.
Any vegetables can be used for this recipe as long as they are slightly cooked or blanched first. Soft veggies such as corn, mushrooms, or zucchini can simply be thrown in the mix without cooking.
This is also a great side dish for dinner! Simply leave the chicken out of the recipe and serve it with any protein such as grilled chicken, steak, sausage, bbq, or fish.
