Aubrey Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's basically broccoli rice casserole in a pot, w/out the creamy part. I used 2 cans chicken broth (the reg size), then refilled ea can w/ water, 3/4 or so up. I dumped most of a bag of froz broccoli in, started it boiling, rinsed some brown rice, added that. I chopped up a couple of stalks of green onion (not much, iow) & added that, poultry seasoning, & a little salt to the rice mixture. While that boiled, I boiled some chicken breasts (about 5) separately w/ poultry seasoning, salt, & pepper. I chopped up the chicken when it was done, added another couple of dashes of poultry seasoning to the rice (um, & the chopped chicken, too), & then a good splash of lemon juice, along w/ another few dashes of salt & pepper & 1-2tbs butter-ish-stuff (dh is allergic to wheat & dairy). The kids licked their bowls, ate seconds, & then asked for "dessert or thirds." Even my hard-to-feed 2yo. And that on a night when I had no idea what to make. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Just out of curiosity, why did you boil the chicken separately? (Not nitpicking, just trying to envision. I think this sounds terrific and want to make it too :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Sounds awesome! Can you say what kind of poultry ssng you used? Sometimes that makes a difference in the flavor! And about how much rice? Thanks! Kroger brand seasoning, lol, & um...*some* rice. Maybe a cup dry? Maybe not that much. My goal was casserole w/out the oven, so the ratio of broth to rice is just over what you'd use for making rice, if that makes sense. Now, it came out soupy, not casserole-y, but it was still thick enough that I served it w/ a wooden spoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamato3 all-boy boys Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hmmm, might be copying that on Thursday night. We have our little co-op at my house on Thursday afternoon, and I'd love to have dinner in the crockpot and one less thing to worry about.

KidsHappen Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 :glare: You are just too darn creative, girl. We had ham & cheese sandwiches and cheese pizza for the vegetarians. I am so not the kitchen kind of girl but you should have seen the Halloween decorations. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the alternative weren't starvation, I'd be blocked from my own kitchen w/ police tape! :lol: But I think it's because I get bored watching stuff boil, & I don't follow directions well. Because directions bore me. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
