So I decided to make some chicken broccoli casserole again, It was delish, here are some pictures:
Here is the recipe:
- 3 tblsp unsalted butter
- 3 tblsp all purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups grated parmesean cheese (I didn`t have any today and just grated some cheddar)
- 3 cups brocoli (about 12 ounces)
- 1 1/2 lb. chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup cracker crumbs
Sauce:
In a saucepan melt butter over low heat, then add flour & seasoning and cook for 3 minutes.
Add Broth,Increase heat to a low boil
Reduce to a simmer until it thickens, about 10 minutes, remove from heat and add sour cream, and 1/4 parmesean. Mix well.
Chicken:
In a lightly oiled skillet, take about 1 pound of bonless skinless chicken breast, on medium heat, using two forks, 'flip flip flip', and with each flip pull at the meat until everything is cooked through and torn.
Now that every thing is done, add it to a baking dish in this order:
First add a small layer of sauce, then add broccoli.
More sauce, add chicken, in that order with however many layers you have and then top off with the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle with crumb crackers and remaining cheese.
Bake in the oven covered for 20-30minutes, and then uncovered under the broiler for 1-3 minutes until crackers and cheese are golden brown.
Serve! :)
P.S.You can also make this dish without meat, use vegetable broth and double the ammount of broccoli!!
