I was so upset the year my Mother in Law wanted to make this dish to bring for Christmas. I had my own favorite broccoli rice recipe. She insisted on bringing this dish. I thought it was so stupid. Having turkey for the main dish and then a side dish with CHICKEN in it!!
We have had this casserole every Thanksgiving and every Christmas ever since the first Christmas that it was brought to our home, close to 20 years ago.
Broccoli-Chicken-Rice-Casserole
Chopped broccoli (2 pound bag)
2 cups dry minute rice
2 cups cooked chopped or diced chicken
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 stick butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup water
1 cup milk
16 oz jar cheese whiz
1 cup diced celery
cook broccoli until almost done, drain and put in a casserole bowl.
add rice, chicken, and onion
Put the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan and heat till cheese melts. (stir so it wont burn)
Pour over broccoli mixture
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or slightly longer
You can mix this up the night before and bake just before dinner, or mix ahead of time and freeze.
