My mom was the casserole QUEEN. She wore a crown of Pyrex and carried a scepter of nonstick baking spray. A mix of brown rice, quickly sautéed chicken, and fresh broccoli, this casserole offers every food group in a single meal. Instead, the smooth, bubbly cheese sauce is made with Greek yogurt and cheddar, just like in this Chicken and Rice Casserole. It saves and reheats like a dream, making it an ideal option for healthy lunches and dinners throughout the week. I never review recipes but this one is AMAZING! It tastes just like the cheesy broccoli rice my mom makes for holidays only, but with significantly less calories!
