Sheree's Grandma's Chicken and Rice Bake (Copycat)

• 2 cup baked chicken..can use canned or rotisserie chicken
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise. not SALAD DRESSING!!!
• 1 can broccoli and cheese soup
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup broccoli (frozen)
• 1 can sliced carrots
• 2 cup cooked rice
• 2 cup shredded cheese
• 1/2 cup chicken broth or milk (optional)
• 1 cup corn flakes (crushed)
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 4 leg quarters
• 1/4 tsp ground thyme
• 1/4 tsp season salt (like Lawry's)
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 stalks celery, minced
• 1/4 cup onion, minced
• 1 cup bell pepper (green, red, and yellow) I use frozen... its cheaper

1. Basically I use leg quarters because I love the taste better.
2. The thighs can be deboned before cooking.
3. This meal is a perfect (FREEZER CASSEROLE).
4. If you are using pre-cooked chicken go to step #5
5. If FREEZING do not add CORN FLAKES or BUTTER.
6. It will be soggy.
7. IF YOU ARE BAKING YOUR OWN CHICKEN....
8. Put 4 leg quarters in a large bowl.
9. Put everything on the chicken in the bowl.
10. Use the ingredients listed for baking only.
11. Rub all the spices into chicken by hand.
12. Place in a baking dish cover with foil and cook at 375 for 1 1/2 hours.
13. Take it out and open the foil and allow to cool.
14. I use the baking broth mixed with the soups for flavor.
15. Put all ingredients for the casserole in a baking dish...
16. I use disposable aluminum pans when I freeze this.
17. If you use pre cooked chicken add about 1/2 cup of milk to mix soups.
18. Mix well put the crushed corn flakes on top and drizzle melted butter on top.
19. Bake casserole uncovered ... For 35-40 minutes at 350.
20. If frozen allow to thaw before baking.
