This is my first post. Its not as healthy as the dishes I usually make, but it is so good! Sage had requested chicken and rice. With a side of peas, it is his favorite dinner ever. But I just don't like yellow rice. In the rice aisle at the grocery I spotted Zatarain's Cheddar Broccoli Rice, and even though I knew it was wasn't what he was thinking of, I figured I can make something good with that. The other night I put together this casserole, and it was delicious. I had hoped for some leftovers for lunch, but the four of us eating it ate it all. I don't buy a lot of boxed rice mixes, but I will definitely make this again.
1 box (5.7 oz) of Cheddar Broccoli Rice Mix
2 tbsp oil
½ medium onion, chopped
10 chicken tenders, cut into bite size pieces
1 Head of broccoli, cut into florets only
¼ cup milk
Seasoning blend to taste (I used Nature’s Seasoning)
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a 4 cheese blend)
¼ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1. Preheat to 350 deg.
2. Prepare rice according to package, set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat oil in skillet. Add chicken and onion, stirring frequently. Saute until chicken is cooked through.
4. Meanwhile steam broccoli until just before tender. Remove immediately from steaming water.
5. In an 8x11 ½ in. glass casserole, add chicken, onion and broccoli. Top with prepared rice and milk and stir gently to mix. (Could be done in a separate bowl and transferred.)
6. Top with desired amount of seasoning, then cheese, and then sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over top.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crumbs are lightly browned.
