Casseroles are the answers to every working parent's dream. Even those with limited cooking abilities are able to handle making a casserole. They are quick, easy and full of nutritious ingredients. In fact, if you take a few minutes before bed time, five to be exact, you can prepare dinner for the following day. Adding a toss green salad and milk creates the ultimate healthy meal for your family. Below is one of my family's favorite casserole dishes.

Chicken, Broccoli and Brown Rice

1 tbsp. Vegetable oil
4 Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular) 98% Fat Free or Healthy Request
1 cups Water
tsp. Paprika
tsp. Ground black pepper
1 cups Uncooked instant brown rice
2 cups Fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets

1. Heat oil in 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until well browned on both sides. Remove chicken from skillet.

2. Stir soup, water, paprika and black pepper in skillet. Heat to a boil.

3. Stir rice and broccoli in skillet. Reduce heat to low. Return chicken to skillet. Sprinkle additional paprika and black pepper over chicken. Cover and cook five minutes or until chicken is tender.

*Cooking times vary. To ensure best results, use instant whole grain rice. Makes four servings.
