Sometimes it’s a little tricky finding recipes that are both adult and kid friendly. Over the past few weeks I’ve been trying to add more food variety to Jellybean’s diet. Which seems to mean we all need to eat the same thing for dinner at least a few nights a week. Hamburger casserole and lemon chicken stew have been my go to family dinner recipes over the past few weeks and while they make great lunch we just need some new recipes in the mix.
Enter Pinterest – side note I think there’s a possibility Pinterest will replace Googling at least in some cases – and with a few clicks I found some great chicken and broccoli casserole dishes. I made a few modifications to this recipe and voila a delicious family friendly dinner!
Chicken & Broccoli Casserole Recipe
1 Tbls Coconut Oil (or vege or olive oil)
1 lb Chicken Breasts – cubed/bitesize
2-3 Cups Fresh Broccoli – chopped/bitesize
1 Small Onion Diced
1 tsp poultry seasoning
Salt & Pepper – to taste
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
3 Tbls Mayonnaise
1/4 cup water
1 and 1/2 Cups Shredded White Cheddar Cheese
1 cup raw white rice (cooked)
Cook the rice per the instructions on the box. I like to substitute the water for chicken broth to add a little extra flavor!
Meanwhile in a large skillet or dutch over add oil, chicken, broccoli, onion, poultry seasoning and salt/pepper. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is done.
Add in the soup, mayo and water gently mix until well incorporated. Mix in the rice. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Makes about 6 servings.
I think Jellybean was a little puzzled as to why I was being such a paparazzi while she ate her dinner!
This recipe is pretty delicious and the whole family approved…yay! I’m happy to have one new recipe, but I would love to add at least another 3-5 new {easy} dinners into our rotation.
What are your go to family friendly recipes that toddlers love?
