CAJUN CHICKEN AND RICE - CAROLINA STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle Cajun spice evenly on each chicken breast.
• Place chicken breasts in vegetable oil-sprayed cooking dish (large sized).
• In a mixing bowl, combine rice, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth and broccoli.
• Pour this mixture on top and around chicken in casserole dish.
• Cover with lid and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• Remove casserole from oven; top with shredded Provolone and continue baking (uncovered, this time!) about 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
• NOTE: Unfortunately, brown rice does not perform as well as white in most recipes. Brown rice normally needs to be cooked nearly twice as long. For this reason, I do not recommend substituting brown rice for white in this particular recipe. :).
