Mary's Chicken -n- Rice

Whole Chicken (I crock pot the chicken…save the broth)

2 c. rice (cook in 4 c. chicken broth)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

8 oz of Cheez Whiz

1 box of chopped broccoli (thawed & drained)

I crock pot the chicken putting it on about 8:30am. I covered the bottom of the crock pot with celery and onion then placed the whole chicken on top. I filled the crock pot with water almost to the top so I would have lots of broth. It was done by 4pm.

While I pulled the chicken off the bones I cooked the rice in broth. (If the casserole is too sticky at the end it may need a bit more broth, don’t get rid of it yet.)

When the rice is cooked, stir in the soups and cheese. Then stir in the broccoli and chicken. Dump into a 9x13 casserole and cover with foil. Bake at 350 until bubbly. This time I made it without the broccoli since my Gramp can't have broccoli. It looks a little better with the green.
