What's for Dinner? Easy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole!

Tonight is part two, continued from last night's dinner.  As you recall, from yesterday, I used half of a rotisserie chicken for my Biscuit Pot Pie.  Tonight, I used the other half in a casserole that is really quick and easy.  Good thing, because I had an old college friend, her husband and her baby drop by for a reunion and playdate.  When she left Sully and I were starving and didn't feel like cooking anything fancy.  Perfect! My friend Angie and I always talk about what we are making for dinner when we are at work, and she kind of came up with something similar to this when she had some leftover chicken to use.  It is quick, easy and yummy.  If you are looking for a no-fuss dinner, this is a keeper!  Enjoy!

Easy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
Serves 4-5

• 1 box Rice-A-Roni, chicken flavor, cooked to directions on box
• 1 large bunch broccoli, cut into florets and steamed until just soft (or cooked in microwave)
• 1/2 rotisserie chicken, picked from skin and bone and chopped
• 1 can, cream of chicken soup (I use the low fat)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large mixing bowl, fold together cooked rice, chicken, soup and sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.  Spoon into 9x9 baking dish, coated with cooking spray.  Top with cheese and then breadcrumbs.  Spray top with more cooking spray.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.  Broil for 2-3 minutes to get top browned and crusty. Enjoy.
