Last night we had family dinner at our house. My in-laws are out of town and someone needed to take over the big task of cooking for 13 people! And that task was left up to me. Really I enjoyed it, I love cooking, but that is a lot to do on a Tuesday night!
I decided to make a recipe that my mom used to make for us when we were growing up, Chicken and Broccoli Casserole. And this recipe didn’t disappoint. My sister said that out of all the things I’ve cooked for her since she’s lived with us, this is one of her favorite dishes. Apparently she doesn’t recall ever eating it when we were growing up.
Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
4 split chicken breasts
1 small can of chicken broth
1 tbsp butter
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 medium chopped onion
1 package of frozen broccoli
½ cup of mayo
½ tbsp. lemon juice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup cracker crumbs (I used Ritz crackers)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place chicken in casserole pan. sauté onion in butter until translucent, add frozen broccoli and cook until tender. Add soup, chicken broth, mayo and lemon juice. Make sure when you go to sauté your onions that you’re using a big enough pan to add all this stuff into!
Pour over chicken
Top with cheese and cracker crumbs.
Cook for 1 hour.
I didn’t get a photo of this chicken after it was cooked because I had 13 people in my house! But I’m certainly going to make it again soon and will take a picture of it then.
*** I’ve made this dish and frozen it before and it turns out just as yummy. So just store it in a foil baking dish and cover once cooled with foil and store in a ziplock bag in the freezer. I generally will take this out of the freezer before I leave for work on the day I want to make it for dinner.
