Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Cook long grain and wild rice while continuing with recipe.
  • Heat large skillet over medium high heat and bring oil to a shimmer. Add chicken and cook stirring occasionally until pink is gone. Remove chicken to plate and add butter. When butter is melted add onion and cook until translucent about 3 minutes.
  • Scatter flour over butter and onions then cook 1 minute. Pour in milk and bring back to a simmer. Let sauce simmer 3 minutes.
  • Leave chicken diced or shred into bite-size pieces and place back into pan. Add broccoli and cooked rice then stir in salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer mixture into prepared casserole dish and top with onion rings. (Leave in skillet if it can be placed in the oven.)
  • Bake 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Notes

Whenever a recipe calls for cooked chicken, it’s nice to make extra. Use it for chicken salad or in a different casserole later in the week.
