Food For Thought

Another cool, rainy weekend, another perfect opportunity to try out a Half Hour Meals member recipe! The problem was, that with so many great recipes to choose from, I was at a loss about what to make. Dessert or entree? Sweet or savory? Looking for inspiration, I started searching through all the  scrumptious recipes that have been posted recently.

As I got to the second page of the chicken recipes, I saw exactly what I was looking for…comfort food in the form of Chicken Casserole (faster than you can say cocka-doodle-doo) from member Michele aka The Paris House. This yummy chicken and rice casserole is different from others I have tried because it includes spinach, an unexpected and delicious addition. Added to the other taste-tempting ingredients is a generous topping of cheese, making this dish a real comfort food winner.

Other than great ingredients and terrific taste, another thing to love about this recipe is that it can be assembled in 20 minutes if you already have some cooked brown rice. Even if you don’t already have rice, the dish comes together quickly and is well worth the time. It smelled so good and looked so tempting when it came out of the oven, that my family was digging into the casserole with spoons before I even had a chance to serve it!

All-in-all, this recipe exceeded my expectations in every way and I highly recommend it. Do yourself a favor the next time you need a dinner idea- try Michele’s Chicken Casserole!
