⭐ Tips & Variations
- Add protein: shredded chicken, ham, or bacon
- Healthier version: use cauliflower rice, low-fat cheese, or Greek yogurt
- Extra flavor: stir in herbs like thyme, parsley, or a pinch of nutmeg
- Air fryer version: use small casserole-safe dish, 320°F (160°C) for 15–20 min
I can also give a cheesy chicken broccoli rice casserole or a crunchy breadcrumb-topped version next.
