FIVE TONGUE SWIRLING CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPES 1. Cheesy Chicken and Rice with Broccoli Casserole Basic Info: Cuisine: American Prep Time: 15 minutes Calories/Serving: 218 cals Course: Main. Cook Time: 30 minutes Level: 2 Servings: 8 Total Time: 45 minutes Healthiness: 4 Brief Description Healthy and easy to cook meal with goodness of broccoli and amazing taste of cheesy chicken and rice, this dish is a winner for when you want something simple and delicious for dinner. A satisfying meal loaded with cheese and soup creams to give unique flavour to the chicken, this dish makes 8 normal servings. Ingredients Some good old chicken and rice Two cups of uncooked instant rice Two cans of drained chunk chicken Vegetables One package of chopped broccoli (frozen) One white onion, small and chopped Cheese and creams A pound of processed cheese A can of mushroom soup cream (condensed) A can of chicken soup cream (condensed) Others Two cups of water One fourth cup of butter One cup of milk Instruction To start with this delicacy, you have to first preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Now you have to take a medium saucepan and boil the water in it. Mix the instant rice in the boiling water and cover the pan with a lid quickly. Now remove it from the heat and let it stand for good five minutes. Get a 9x13 inches baking dish and take all the ingredients you have set aside on your preparation table, mix them all with the prepared rice. You should remember to mix all the ingredients well for this dish to be perfect and as I said “tongue swirling”. Now is the time to use that preheated oven! You have to bake this mixture in the oven for a good amount of 30-35 minutes so that the cheese can melt. Remember to stir in the middle of the cooking process for the cheese to spread evenly (sounds yum right?) The last step is to serve it hot and let your taste buds have a treat.
