    Chicken, Rice, and Broccoli Bake

    By Kevin Williams

    This is a comfort food classic that comes straight from the rich traditions of Amish, stick-to-your ribs comfort food. This type of meal is especially enjoyed on cold, cold winter days.   This is what I call a "pile meal", you can just enjoy a big pile of this casserole on your plate and get a hearty bit of chicken, rice, broccoli, cheese, and more in every bite.  These are my favorite kinds of meals.

    The recipe below has been adapted for non-Amish cooks.  We've cut corners for you, so can use frozen broccoli, cream of mushroom soup and frozen chicken cubes.  But the end result is still an amazing and hearty casserole.
