Creamy Chicken and Rice



340 Calories per Serving

This was a good version of comfort food. It was very creamy and I really liked having the crackers on top. I left out the tomatoes and green chilies though- the hubs isn't a huge fan of cooked tomatoes, and I don't care for green chilies that much. The casserole also took a little longer to cook than listed in the recipe. Also, in the future, I think i might mix all of the ingredients together (except for the topping) instead of layering everything. I like this one though- I'd definitely make it again.

Ingredients: 

3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 package (12 oz) Green Giant® frozen broccoli florets
2 cups cooked rice1 1/2cups Green Giant® frozen peas
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed fiesta nacho cheese soup
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® fire-roasted tomatoes and green chilies
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
1 cup crushed rich round crackers

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 ºF. Place chicken in the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, rice, and peas. Spread mixture over the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, nacho cheese soup, diced tomatoes, milk, and crushed red pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Pour soup mixture over broccoli mixture in baking dish. Sprinkle crushed crackers evenly over all. Top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

2. Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until topping is golden.
