Terry and Chris made this yummy casserole for a quick dinner before Allen’s Holiday Concert on 12/16/24 and I stopped looking for my favorite Chicken & Rice Casserole. You can switch out the broccoli for a cooked veggie of your choice, like California Mix (their veggie that night) or whole kernel corn, which I used one day. Maybe sliced carrots on another day? Don’t you just love choices? =^..^=
