Chicken and Rice Casserole


Sometimes you really just need a change.  Do you ever find yourself just randomly tossing things together to make something?  I definitely do.  It has been a long time since I had chicken and brocoli caserole like my mom used to make, and unfortunately the ingredients kept me from doing that.  Here's what I found in the kitchen.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 bag of brocoli
  • 1-1/2 cups of rice
  • 2 tbsp of flax seed (to thicken)
  • 2 cups of almond milk
  • 1-1/2 cups of water

  • cheddar cheese
  • onion powder
  • ginger
  • garlic powder
I love casserole!  I preheated the oven to 425.  I just put everything in the top list in a casserole dish added a liberal amount of garlic and onion powder in (we really like it and both have a tendency to lower your blood pressure!).  I added some ginger.  (Generally with spices we do a lot of smelling to see if it smells strong enough, LOL).  I baked it for about 45 minutes and then topped with a very small amount of cheese. 

This dish turned out great, everyone loved it, and it was enough to feed our family of 6 dinner and lunch the next day!  Adults added cayenne and aneheim/jalepino pepper.
