Italian Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

Well, as I promised yesterday in my Menu  Plan Monday post, here is the recipe for the Italian Chicken & Broccoli Casserole that we had yesterday.

3 Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts (baked & shredded) 2 Cups uncooked rice (cook according to the directions) 2 Cups Shredded Cheese (I used Kroger brand Pizza Style cheese) 1 Packet of Zesty Italian Dressing Mix 2 Cups of Milk 1 Can Cream of Chicken & Mushroom Soup 1 Can Cream of Broccoli Soup 1 12 oz. bag of frozen Broccoli bits 6 slices of provolone cheese preheat oven to 350 degrees Put the cooked rice in a 9x13 baking pan.  In a large bowl thoroughly mix together the shredded cheese, shredded chicken, broccoli bits, milk, both cans of soup, & the Italian dressing mix.  Pour this mixture over the rice, top with provolone cheese slices. Bake for 35 minutes.

Did we like it? Well...... It was ok....it had a nice, simple flavor and was extremely creamy. With some tweaking I think we will like it better!  I think it definitely needs more chicken and another packet of Zesty Italian Dressing Mix or other seasoning for more flavor.  Next time I think I will omit the provolone cheese slices and just add another cup of shredded cheese because the slices did not melt very well.  I might even cut the milk by at least half a cup as it was extremely creamy. If you try this recipe....won't you stop back by to let me know what tweaking you did to improve it?
