Chicken Divine Alternative Rock #1


Please forgive me for neglecting my duties. I'm just not a very good blogger. I can still have an E for effort, right? I introduce to you another tasty family casserole. I've had to adapt Hunnybun's family favorite Chicken Divine as we have recently discovered that Goober is allergic to eggs (nasty hives) and therefore must avoid them for two years, per pediatrician's advice, before she can try them again. Let's hope she can grow out of the allergy otherwise she'll miss out on a lot of tasty things in life such as cookies, cake, brownies, scrambled eggs, etc. That also means avoiding some salad dressings like Mayonnaise. Oh dear, mayonnaise is in daddy's Chicken Divine! Well, have no fear, we'll just oust from the recipe! I also experimented with a few other changes. We were also out of broccoli, the usually main and really only veggie in the dish. Have no fear, we'll just use some other veggies like oh, a can of corn and a can of green beans! (I got the idea to use green beans from my good friend and upstairs neighbor!)

2 cups cooked rice
1-2 chicken boobies, cut up and cooked (sorry, old habit from my Aunt Jane)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 large dollops of sour cream (hehe, I love the word 'dollop'!)
A splash or two of milk
Handful or two of cheese
1 can corn
1 can green beans
Curry powder (daddy would be heartbroken if forgotten)
Mrs. dash (addicting stuff)
Lemon pepper (also addictive)
Any other seasonings you see fit to use
More cheese

Layer the cooked rice into a 9x13 pan. Mix together soup, sour cream, milk, cheese, veggies, seasonings, and chicken in a bowl and spread over rice. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top (mustn't forget or else I'll be heartbroken). Warm in oven at 350 degrees until bubbly and cheese is gooey. Now devour the divine stuff!

P.S. I'm thinking about testing out a cake that substitutes bananas for eggs. I'll let you know how that goes. Course, I also promised you a chocolate chip cookie recipe. I must be punished. Guess that means I need to make them again soon.
