Chicken and Rice--Many Ways

2 cups rice, cooked
1/2 lb chicken, cooked and diced
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup steamed broccoli
optional: french fried onions, cheddar cheese

Combine first five ingredients in mixing bowl and spread into greased 9x13" baking dish. Optionally, top with cheddar cheese and/or french fried onions. Bake 350 for approximately 30 minutes, or until heated through.

Alterations:
-substitute cream of mushroom for cream of chicken. Add 1 small can mushrooms, with liquid, and 1/2 packet of onion soup mix. Sprinkle remaining onion soup mix on top of mixture before baking.

-substitute cream of chicken and sour cream for 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup mayo, juice of 1 lemon, and up to 3 tsp curry powder, depending on desired taste.

-rather than baking, heat chicken in skillet with 1 T olive oil. Coat with flour (about 1/4 cup). Add enough milk or chicken broth (about 2 cups) to just cover chicken in skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens. Serve over rice.
