Quick Fix Meal #1

On those long busy days like today, cooking dinner is normally not the first thing on my mind when I return home. In fact, the first thing I like to do is lay in my bed with curtains drawn, turn the television on to a funny show, have my small fan blasting on high and enjoy the precious moment.

Today I pulled out one of my favorite quick and easy recipes for dinner: Cheesy chicken, rice, and broccoli casserole.

Below are the ingredients and directions for this tasty dish. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 cup of rice-(cooked)
1 cup of boneless skinless chicken (diced and cooked)
1 cup of broccoli (cooked and drained)
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 can of 2% milk
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. (or amount desired)


Combine cream of chicken soup and milk in a medium mixing bowl. In a casserole dish combine rice, chicken, and broccoli. Add cream and milk mixture. Combine all and spread throughout dish. Top with desired amount of cheese, and bake on 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Dig in.
