January Meal in a Jar: Chicken Broccoli Rice Bake

This year I launched a monthly Meal-in-a-Jar group where I come up with recipes using Thrive’s monthly specials and we create 10-12 meals that you can put away in your pantry for quick easy dinners, or save for a few years for emergencies. You can read more about that project at this link and sign up to receive the monthly emails about it!

I’m going to be publishing each months’ recipes on the blog here so we can keep it as an archive in case you sign up later and want to go back and look at some of the old recipes. So here is January’s recipe!

This month we are making a delicious Chicken Broccoli Rice Bake recipe using the chopped chicken and broccoli that are on sale in January!  This recipe will fit in one quart jar and feed 4-6 people.
