Relief Society Casserole–spaghetti with chicken, broccoli, lemon and parmesan made fast in the Instant Pot.
Relief Society Casserole
Relief Society is the women’s organization in the church I belong to and it is probably the largest and oldest women’s group in the world (started in the 1840s). One thing that is really important in this organization is the service piece. Members strive to show love and care for one another…especially when there is a new baby, a funeral, when someone is sick, or another special need. Of course casseroles and one pot meals are the best for something like this because they serve a crowd, a bunch of sides aren’t necessary and it’s economical. I’ve taken a common old fashioned chicken broccoli casserole and transformed it a bit using the Instant Pot. It has less cream, butter, mayo, flour than the original and more of a light and bright element (with the lemon juice). Enjoy!
