Super Easy gluten-free Chicken Cassarole (sp?)

[Guest imsohungry]

My mom sent me this VERY fast and easy recipe...that is actually nutritious! I adapted it to be gluten-free...my hubby and I ate it up!

Super easy chicken cassarole (sp?):

1. two pouches of instant chicken flavored rice

(it only takes 60-90 seconds to make; it comes in a pouch and is microwavable! It's a new product made by several companies).

2. one large can white meat (or white/dark meat) chicken

(I had never had precooked/canned chicken before, but it's good and sold near the canned tuna)

3. one small can green beans

(or other veggie of your choice)

4. shredded or sliced sharp/mild cheese

5. (optional) gluten-free toasted bread crumbs as topping

Directions:

Microwave rice.

Stir in drained chicken and green beans, and shredded cheese

Add a teaspoon water/cover dish with aluminum foil/bake at 350 for 15-20 min.

Remove foil and add more cheese to top, along with (optional) toasted crumbs

Broil until cheese bubbles slightly.

Anyway, I thought I would share. It only took me five minutes to pour in the ingredients, 15 minutes to bake, and there was no mess to clean up because it was all done in my cassorole dish. So, just the dish and spoon needed to be washed.

Hope someone can use this! -Julie

Ok ya'll,

Uncle Ben's 90 second "Ready Rice" in the white rice, brown rice, and spanish style are gluten-free. (Just to make sure I called the company).

Because it's so convenient, it's more expensive than regular rice, but for a once-a-week treat to myself (so I don't have to "cook")...it is worth it.

The chicken-flavored 90 second DOES contain gluten, but any rice can become chicken-flavored with gluten-free chicken broth or a boullion cube.

If you want to use the 10-min. rice instead, simply boil the rice in gluten-free canned chicken broth or with a boullion cube instead of plain water. The whole dinner should still take less than 30 minutes...including clean-up.

Hope you enjoy!

I just tried this and it was great... and easy! My husband and 2yr old liked it and thats a feat. It even got the two year old to eat green beans, which he never does.

Thanks again,
