    With the chicken, rice, cream of chicken soup, broccoli and cheese, you can make a casserole. Campbell's has a recipe online.

    Stir fry! Chicken, broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas, baby corn, water chestnuts. Serve with rice~
    You could make a sauce out of the worcestershire and some spices.

    Use the chicken breasts with the broccoli, carrots, sugar snaps, water chestnuts and baby corn to make a stir-fry. Serve with brown rice.

    Make a cheese sauce, add some cooked peas and green beans, stir through pasta.

    Home-made flat breads are dead easy - make a chilli with the beans, serve with home-made tortillas and grated cheese.

    Spicy Chicken cutlets with a salad of corn and the 2 beans. I like to make a corn salad with cumin cayenne powder (to taste) some kind of cheese and lime and salt and pepper I usually use a grain with it like spelt or something, but the beans ought to work well also.... Chicken cutlets use salt pepper flour and your choice of herbs and spices to make a dredge, beat the crap out of the chicken, dredge (egg wash optional) and pan fry...
  • ooo, I'm seeing broccoli, pasta bake w/the chicken soup and cheddar cheese topping. Black beans and rice w/some spicy cheese corn muffins to which you add whole corn. Pasta primavera w/the water chestnuts, carrots, broccoli, baby corn, sugar snap peas, & green beans. Veggie soup with the broth and all those veg. Tamale pie, if you have some ground beef, turkey or chicken, spice it up like tacos, add whatever veg you like, then make the cornmeal batter for muffins, but top the mixture, cover w/shredded cheese and bake till golden.

    Cook the cornmeal with the chicken broth then throw in the black beans, carrots and corn with a pinch of chili seasoning. Put in an oven safe dish sprinkle some cheese on top and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted.

    Campbell's Chicken and Rice Casserole with veggies! I've been eating it for the past week, and it's delicious and easy! You just put everything in a baking dish and stick it into the oven. I didn't add the cheese, but added extra vegetables like bell peppers and onions instead. So good!!

    Do you have a crock pot? If so, you can throw in the chicken breasts, beans, corn, some chicken broth and (you would have to buy a jar of salsa), cook all day then shred chicken and serve atop brown rice. Very tasty! Even if no crock pot, you could simmer everything for a while until the chicken gets nice and tender and do something similar
