Cheesy chicken bake recipe- an update of an old family classic
My grandmother passed down a delicious recipe for duck and wild rice casserole. It’s a true slow food recipe that I love so much. As much as I do my best to eat fresh, local food, I have to admit that there are times where we resort to jarred salsa and canned chicken. My update on my grandmothers recipe isn’t nearly as good as the original, but it gets us through busy nights!
For this update I added salsa, swapped out the duck for a can of chicken, and used a lot of cheese!
I simply mix everything together- uncooked rice and frozen broccoli too. Seriously, toss it all in one bowl.
Then bake it for an hour on 375 degrees and make sure to add extra cheese at the end!
Get the full recipe below.
