Chicken Rice Hot Dish

Chicken Rice Hot Dish

I love fall! It's my favorite time of the year. Love all the fall colors and the cool air!

Time to start freezer meals. Makes life soo much easier.

This is easy and turned out delicious! 

Step 1:

Make 10 cups rice

I use chicken broth instead of water. Set aside.

Step 2: 

(my version of homemade creamed soup)

Melt 6 T margarine

Whisk in 6 T flour

Whisk in 3 cups milk

Add 3 tsp chicken bullion

Whisk on medium for about 3 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.

Step 3:

In large bowl add the following:

4 cups cooked, chopped chicken (I used frozen pre cooked)

4 cups chopped frozen vegetables (I used Mexican blend)

Add cooked rice

Add creamed soup

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix together! Simple.

Write on 4-5 quart size freezer bags. 

Add to bags. Freeze. When ready to use: Thaw, spray pan with Pam, cook at 375 for 30 minutes. Serve with garlic bread.

PS I made extra rice and froze it too!

Enjoy!
