so glad it was a hit

My mom used to make a chicken broccoli rice casserole with cream of mushroom that we all devoured. I’ve never made it, because I’m the only one who would eat it — but I crave it from time to time. So when I saw this recipe, and the healthier Pacific Foods condensed soup in stores, I had to make it, with boneless skinless chicken thighs, broth, condensed mushroom soup, and frozen broccoli florets. Oh yum, is that just like I remember!! I made it “wrong” though — whisked the broth and soup together in the pot, used food scissors to cut the thighs into chunks right over it, and sprinkled garlic and onion powders and salt on that (because I don’t know what “1/2 onions” means and didn’t have fresh onions anyway), put in the frozen broccoli and stirred. Then I put it in the rice but instead of gently pressing down on the grains, I spooned the liquid over them. 😁

No, just the texture may not be as pleasing with double contents. Timing should remain the same but likely double won’t fit properly as you cannot put more contents than the fill line inside.

This is the perfect cozy meal. I added a squeeze of lemon and put onion soup mix on the chicken to season it before I browned it. Oh my pants 😍 I’ve made it 2x this month and I think it’s going to be a staple.
