Made this delicious meal last night! It can be found on tasteofhome.com. It turned out amazing! I had to make a lot of changes and to work with what we had. I also did an experiment!!!
Things I did differently:
While making my shopping list, I use an app called Food on the Table for convenience, I did not note that the kind of cheese called for was Velvita. So instead I purchased a whole bage full of mozzarella. When I made the meal, I said "oh well!" And just went for it anyway!
I also hadn't realized I was almost out of rice. So we only had about 1 cup of rice instead of 4.
One more thing to note, I used a KitchenAid mixer to shred 3 lbs of chicken earlier in the day. So instead of using cubed chicken, I used shredded.
My Experiment:
I cooked the casserole in the microwave! That's right! The microwave! It's been very hot lately, and especially living on the third floor, with a westward facing home, my kitchen gets VERY hot! I've been trying not to cook until the sun goes down, but it doesn't help much. I had thought to myself, wouldn't it be nice if I could cook this without using the oven? ... Wait... Maybe I CAN!!! After purchasing a microwave for Christmas, I did something I don't normally do. And that is: read the instruction manual. I remember there being recipes for casseroles in there... So I quickly found the manual again, found the pages with casserole recipes on it, and reviewed the cooking instructions! They all said the same thing: cook for 16-18 minutes on power level 6. So I tried it! And it worked! Dinner was a big hit!
