For Carol

Carol, since you wanted the recipe to my super yummy casserole...I decided to turn it into a blog and kill two birds with one stone. Yay for being efficient!

Broccoli, Rice, Cheese and Chicken Casserole
it should come out looking like this...uh yeah, right

For Casserole:

• 2 - 10 oz cans of drained chicken(I actually use 2-3 chicken breasts, brown them with the onions and some salt and pepper. Or using precooked Costco Rotisserie Chicken is great too.)
• 2c instant rice (I use brown and add a little more because it yields a little less than white rice)
• 1 - 10 3/4 oz can of cream of chicken soup (I use low fat)
• 1 - 10 3/4 oz can of cream of mushroom soup (I use low fat)
• 1c milk (I use Carb control something or other milk product)
• 1 - 16oz package of frozen broccoli
• 1 - small white onion chopped (which I brown with the chicken)
• 1lb - Cheddar Cheese (Reserve some cheese for the top)

Mix all together and put in a baking dish.
Put in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.

For Topping:

• Remaining Cheddar Cheese
• Panko Breadcrumbs
• Seasonings (I use Johnny's Great Caesar Garlic Spread - which everyone should have in their pantry in my opinion...it's great to add to omelets and scrambled eggs...for garlic bread...anything!)
