Dump-and-bake Cheesy Chicken Orzo Casserole With Broccoli
"A cheesy chicken orzo casserole with broccoli bakes entirely in one dish! The simple and cozy dinner comes together with just 10-minutes of prep time, thanks to the convenient dump-and-bake method. Perfect for busy weeknights! Why You’ll Love this Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Orzo Casserole: - One Dish. Nobody wants to wash a sink full of dishes at the end of a meal! Fortunately, you can stir everything together in a single baking dish, minimizing the pots and pans that you have to clean later. - Minimal Prep. It might not be fancy, but you’re going to appreciate the dump-and-bake method of cooking on busy weeknights! You don’t even have to cook pasta, sauté veggies, or prep any ingredients, and the noodles come out tender and perfect every time! - Quick. Since orzo is a small pasta, it cooks faster than other shapes. This means less time in the oven, and dinner on the table sooner. - Versatile. Omit the chicken and make it vegetarian, use pre-cooked (or frozen) meatballs, or try sliced fully-cooked Italian sausage. You can also play around with different vegetables, taking advantage of the ingredients that you have on hand."
