Simple and Delicious. I did make the following changes from the recipe: Rice – Do not use instant and cook in chicken broth before putting all ingredients together. (2 cups of chicken broth for every cup of dry rice) Chicken – Instead of canned, I used the breast meat from a rotisserie by simply pulling it off the bone.
Broccoli – I used fresh broccoli, chopped it and steamed until tender.
Cheese – I used half shredded cheddar and half crumbled Velveeta.
Then mix all ingredients together and add salt, pepper, and garlic salt (I used Lowry’s) to taste.
This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.
