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.
