Saucy Chicken, Broccoli and Rice

Saucy Chicken, Broccoli and Rice
Recipe Tip
Super Chicken
Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.
Health Twist
Substituting brown rice for white rice is an excellent way to boost whole grains. Brown rice supplies four times more magnesium than white rice. Magnesium plays an essential role in keeping hearts beating normally.
Mushroom Magic
Mushroom lovers can use reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup instead of the chicken soup, and add a can of sliced mushrooms with the broccoli.

If you use cream of mushroom soup instead it adds a lot more flavor! I hope that helps!

Add paprika! Just sprinkle it over the chicken. It makes a big difference.

Blah
It was super easy to put together but that was about the only positive. It really lacked in flavor, caused the chicken to be dry, & the broccoli was cooked to death.

boring...
I was hoping to get a good flavor from the 'saucy rice' but it did not take on any flavor from the soup. This meal was bland and boring.

Not a very good recipe. I was expecting the flavor from the soup in the rice, but it was rather boing..

Nothing Special
It was chicken, rice, and broccoli, not to much to it.

Nothing to special, just like an average cassorole, but easy to make and the chicken was tender. I probably will make this again, when I dont want to put any effort into dinner.

Tasty and Quick
While it does take almost an hour in the oven, this recipe is easy and fast to throw together. Add a little jalapeno for some spice, or keep as is. Guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.
