Recipe: Chicken and Rice

My recipe for chicken and rice

3 packages rice a roni cheddar broccoli, plus ingredients listed on box to prepare
1 c. frozen broccoli crowns, thawed and cut into bite sized pieces
1 c. cooked chicken, chopped (turkey works, too)
4 cups chicken broth
Cornstarch
Milk
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare rice a roni as directed. Meanwhile, bring chicken broth to a boil, mix cornstarch and milk, add to broth, stir until thickened (can use cream of chicken soup if you’re in a hurry). Turn off the thickened broth, add broccoli and chicken. When rice is done, mix with broth mixture, turn into 9x13 casserole dish, top with grated cheese, bake until heated through.
You can omit the broth gravy for less fat, but it will be a bit dry. Serve with baked beans or deviled eggs to increase the protein content. I usually serve this with carrots.
