Chicken, Broccoli and Rice

 I had some chicken left over from Sunday dinner and decided to try and make up my own recipe.  Chicken, Broccoli and Rice go well together, right?  I took a couple of different recipes and combined them all.
Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Dish
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cup rice
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
  • 1 Tbsp Chicken bullion stuff
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 1 onion minced (I used dry onion)
  • 2 cups diced Chicken
1.  Add all ingredients to a crock pot in order listed.  Cook on high for 3 hours-ish
Our dinner lacked some color, but I used much of what we already had.  I also served this with roasted Cauliflower which I tossed with Olive Oil and sprinkled with salt before roasting in a 400 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes.

Verdict:  One child picked out all the chicken, one picked out all the broccoli and one ate all of it.  I thought it was okay, but seemed to lack in flavor.  I used the leftovers to make a casserole with, topping with cheese.  It was okay, too, but again, needed move flavor.  The roasted Cauliflower was my favorite part.  Why did I never eat roasted vegetable growing up?  I LOVE them!  I have one child who can be quite picky about vegetables, and she ate thirds of the cauliflower.  I know that part of dinner we will definitely do again.
