Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish (or one similar in size,
doesn't have to be exact!)
2 Cook rice: Cook your rice according to instructions (each rice variety varies
slightly). While the rice is cooking, rinse and chop your broccoli into small
florets and dice your onion super small.
3 In a pan over medium heat, add a little oil spray or drizzle of oil and cook
your ground chicken, breaking it up into small bits. I just season mine with a
little salt & pepper. Remove from the heat when it's cooked through. If you're
using beans, skip this step but drain & rinse your beans & set aside.
4 When there is 5 minutes left of cooking time for the rice, open the pot and add
the broccoli and onion. Give it a quick stir and place the lid back on to finish
cooking.
5 Make it saucy: When the rice is finished, remove from heat. Stir in the
seasonings, milk, yogurt, buffalo sauce (if using), and chicken or beans, mixing
well.
6 Bake: Pour the rice mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top with cheese of
choice (I used dairy-free cheese).
7 Then bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes and cheese is bubbly and melty. I like
to top mine with fresh herbs like parsley. Serve immediately!
