Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Bake

With a busy night of homework, errands and Boy Scouts, I needed a quick fix meal that would be easy and filling.  After a quick check of the pantry, we decided on Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Bake.  The whole process only took about 35 minutes, as we had multiple things going at once.  Hope you enjoy this dish as much as we did, it is quite good!  Leave me a comment and let me know how it worked out for you!  Don't forget to enter the Groovy Granola Giveaway as well, two winners will be picked this Thursday! :)

Here's to full bellies!
