Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

We eat a lot of chicken in this house; at least 3-4 times a week.  So coming up with different ways to cook it, different tastes, and recipes for the leftovers is always a challenge.

I have been making this for a number of years and it is always gone, no leftovers.  I vary the recipe depending on what spices, how much chicken I have left over, vegetables and cheeses.

I have never made the same recipe twice, so it is new everytime!

Two Different Dishes With One Ingredient

I recently bought a package of Classic Cole Slaw mix.  I rarely buy packaged mixes like this but it was convenient.  Anyway after using only a part of the package, I realized I had satisfied my craving for Cole Slaw for a while.  So what to do with the leftover coleslaw.

About a year ago my sister bought us a subscription to “Taste Of Home-Cooking for Two”.  She is determined to get me off comfort foods and for us to eat healthier.  To be frank, when the magazine comes in every month, I take look and put it aside.  It wasn’t until I started this blog, that I really began looking at the recipes inside.  There are some fantastic ideas and a lot of them fit into my definition of Comfort Food.
