Chicken and rice casserole

I found this from foodnetwork! Paula Dean is very good indeed. I changed the recipe to make it a little healthier. Watch for the salt content though, those condensed soup isn't exactly the healthiest ingredient out there with all the hydrogenated oil and salt.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup wild rice
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, 1 lb chicken
  • 1 TB butter, 1 TB olive oil
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups of broccoli
  • 1 (10 3/4-ounce can) low fat condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups low fat grated sharp Cheddar
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Cook the rice in rice cooker.

Heat the butter in saucepan and saute the pepper, broccoli and onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

Remove the veggies and sautee the chicken and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the rice, soup, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, shrimp and vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well. Spray a 9-inch square aluminum cake pan or an 11 by 7-inch glass casserole dish with vegetable spray. Place the mixture in the pan and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly.
