Eula’s Casserole

Eula’s Casserole–an easy dump and go Instant Pot dinner with chicken, cabbage and orzo in a creamy sauce.

Eula’s Casserole

This easy dump and go recipe has cabbage, orzo and chicken and cooks in only 1 minute. The cabbage can be swapped out with another vegetable like broccoli or green beans. But if you use cabbage you’ll love how it takes on all the delicious flavors of the dish like lemon and mustard.

This recipe is adapted from Laughing Spatula, the author states, “Eula was my mother-in-law. Probably one of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing…she had a true heart of gold. She was a wonderful cook, and I am not so sure she would be thrilled to know that her name is attached to one of the simplest dishes she made, but we started calling it Eula’s Casserole years ago and it’s too late to change now!”

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon chicken base
• Cabbage–or green beans, broccoli, cauliflower
