In my opinion, this was way too little broccoli for that much rice. Increased the ratio of broccoli - Most of the classic broccoli-rice casserole recipes I read called for a 10-ounce package of frozen broccoli for 3 cups of cooked rice. I made three changes to help increase flavor:ġ. It's a comfort food classic that sure makes its appearance in more than its fair share of cookbooks, church suppers, potlucks, and holiday dinners alike. It's classic creamy, cheesy comfort food at its best.Īnd in these types of little local cookbooks, you'd be hard-pressed not to find a recipe for a version of 'homey' broccoli-rice casserole. This is a perfectly tasty side dish for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or everyday dinner. I just adore the 'homey' local recipes shared in these types of books. Along with You're Invited from the Junior League of Raleigh, NC and Seaboard to Sideboard from the Junior League of Wilmington, NC. However, I just can't seem to help myself.Ĭarolina Blessings from Children's Home Society of North Carolina tops the list, for sure. despite the fact there's no way on this Earth I need yet another cookbook. I just can't get enough of them, and seem to constantly be buying more.

You know what that means? More time for other things! Be sure to check out more of Campbell’s new products?, plus some delicious Campbell’s recipes and follow on social media ! This a brand I grew up with and one I continue to use to feed my family.I'm a true lover of those little local cookbooks put together by church and local charity groups. Not only can you spend less time in the kitchen preparing the meal, but also less time cleaning up. But with a few quick and kid-pleasing meals in our arsenal like this one, it makes life during the week a little easier. And I’m not a big fan of leftovers! When it comes to planning, shopping, prepping and cooking meals for our families – it can be exhausting. The cheesy sauce with the broccoli and the crunch of the corn flakes made this one tummy satisfying meal! Plus, we had enough for leftovers, which I swear taste better than when it first came out of the oven. Since you already have a protein, vegetable and starch in the casserole – all you needed to make this a complete meal is some fruit. Bake it in the oven at 350 degrees F for 25 – 30 minutes and dinner is ready! I served ours with a fruit salad. Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes over the casserole, and drizzle 2 Tbsp of melted butter over the corn flakes. Perfect! I poured about 1 cup of corn flakes in a baggie and used a rolling pin to crush them. But then I remembered eating a rice casserole one time where they had topped a casserole with crushed corn flakes. And then I thought about topping it with crushed crackers and butter.

Although you could mix this up in a bowl, why dirty up another dish? Just mix it together in your 9×13 pan! At first, I wasn’t going to top this with anything. Then add the shredded chicken, frozen broccoli florets and cheese sauce. After the rice is finished, pour it in a greased 9×13 casserole dish. The rice takes about 15 – 20 minutes to make, so while it’s cooking, use this time to shred the chicken. You need cooked rice for this recipe and you need to shred the chicken. Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole My recipe requires just a few more steps, but it’s still so easy, my kids could do it. Then you place the frozen broccoli florets in the pan (nope, you don’t even need to thaw them) and pour the cheesy sauce over everything and bake. You place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 9×13 pan. On the back of the Campbell’s Oven Sauce, it has a 3-step recipe. It was filling, it had great flavor and as a kid – it just made me happy! I’ve since carried on that tradition and have made this same casserole a lot in my almost 18 years of being a parent, as well as when my husband and I were first married.Īs I was trying to come up with a recipe to make with the Campbell’s Sauce, I knew it had to be easy, flavorful, kid pleasing and comforting. One of my favorite meals growing up was my parent’s Chicken and Rice casserole.

I had the chance to try out Campbell’s Dinner Sauces – the new Oven Cheesy Broccoli Chicken to be exact, and made a Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole for dinner. Eliminating the step of having to cook the chicken helps me put dinner on the table for my family in no time. I’ve used rotisserie chicken for quite a few of these shredded chicken recipes and they’ve turned out so good. I am always on the hunt for new rotisserie chicken recipes because it’s an easy weeknight meal to prepare, when I don’t have much time or energy.
