The easiest casserole ever, dump everything in, stir, cover and cook for an hour. YUMMY!

When life gets in the way and you don’t even have time to run to the store to pick up frozen pizza, this is what you need in your life. It taste like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen, but it seriously only takes about 5 minutes to cut up the chicken, broccoli and stir together.

Ingredients

  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of whatever)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup uncooked Jasmine rice
  • 1 lb. uncooked chicken breast or tenders, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 -1 cup grated cheese, I used a mix of Gouda and Sharp Cheddar (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Add cream of chicken soup, water, sour cream, and heavy cream to the prepared dish. Whisk together until completely combined.
  3. Stir in uncooked rice. Make sure rice is completely coated (if you have dry rice it will not cook and it will be crunchy. Nobody likes crunchy rice!
  4. Add uncooked chicken, and broccoli pieces, stir everything well and then press everything down into the liquid.
  5. Sprinkle top with your Cajun seasoning.
  6. Cover tightly with foil (this is KEY! – it has to be a tight seal to keep the juices in and cook the rice.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, or until the liquid is absorbed, and the chicken is cooked.
  8. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese and return to the oven for a few more minutes, just until the cheese is melted.

Super quick and simple, one pot goulash - very forgiving


I love recipes that are so forgiving and only require you to get one pot dirty! This is my jam right here. A tasty goulash like my mama used to make, but I throw in canned beans and corn to make it stretch even more. So good!
