Cheddar Chicken Broccoli Casserole

It may not be considered “diet food” given the cheese and the non-whole grain egg noodles but this casserole was a big hit with my husband and I. This is a very good thing since I’m generally not enthused by my own cooking. I got the recipe from my cousin who is an excellent cook. However, I got it over the phone and she tends to eyeball her stuff a lot so this recipe is for those who know how they like their dishes in terms of seasoning and salt content.You’ll need:

  • 2lbs of cooked, cubed chicken (I seasoned the chicken with Adobo, salt, pepper, and light cilantro and sauteed this in a fry pan with garlic and onions in olive oil .)

  • 1lb of egg noodles cooked in water and chicken broth until only slightly soft- do not overcook (I added salt and boullion to the water. Be sure you taste these when they’re ready. That is your chance to add salt and or garlic to the noodles if necessary.)

  • 1 to 2 bunches (depending on preference) of blanched broccoli

  • shredded cheddar cheese to taste (save some to put on top) I used three quarters of a 10 ounce block

  • additonal 1 cup of chicken broth

  • Mix all ingredients in a casserole dish. Add 1 cup of chicken broth. Add shredded cheese to the top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.*The picture above shows the pieces of broccoli and chicken larger than I would prefer. The next time I made this I made sure to make the chicken cubes and broccoli bite sized so that all the flavors could be in each mouthful.

      I added a bit of onion and used a simple garlic sauce instead of extra chicken broth. Thanks for sharing.
