Chicken Broccoli Cheesy Rice Casserole

Life is busy and getting back into the groove after summer can be hard. This Stove Top Chicken Broccoli Cheesy Rice Casserole will help you ease back into family dinners. Maple Leaf Natural Selections has launched a new line-up of shredded meats to help with your busy nights.

Maple Leaf’s shredded meat which includes pork, turkey, and chicken is here to help time-starved parents still make a delicious homemade meal. Personally I love using an already prepared product like this as it saves me oodles of time. Shredded meats like this are easy, natural, and versatile. 

I used to make a casserole like this years and years ago and it was always a hit. Making it on the stove top though is even faster. You could cook the broccoli in with the other ingredients but I love to steam it and then shock it in cold water to lock in that glorious green. Then at the end it is just added with the chicken and the cheese to heat up. 

Maple Leaf Natural Selections

Maple Leaf Natural Selections are made with natural ingredients with no preservatives, this saves time and is just like the fresh ingredients without the hassle. It is versatile as it is not packaged in sauce and minimally spiced so it can be used in any dishes you like. 

Creamy and cheesy and so full of wonderful flavors and nutrition. Your family will love this when you place it on the table. You will love it as it is a healthy and easy meal solution using already shredded chicken. This is a complete meal with all your veggies, chicken, and rice. 

Not having to put the oven on is a bonus too. This cooks up quickly in one pan so minimal clean up also. Plus, nothing says home cooking like a casserole. Everyone loves them!!
