Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 small yellow onion (diced)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk ((I used skim))
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup uncooked freekeh
1 pound asparagus, (tough ends removed, cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 bunch spring carrots ((8 to 10 ounces) peeled, cut into 1/4-inch coins)
1/2 cup shredded cheese ((any kind that melts well, such as Gouda, Fontina Gruyere, or cheddar; I used Gouda))
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Steps:

  • Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch deep baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high in a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet. Add the chicken and cook until the edges are brown, but the center is still slightly pink. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the onion. Cook until beginning to brown and soften, about 3 minutes, then whisk in the flour. Cook until the flour is lightly brown, about 1 minute, then add the chicken broth. Increase heat to high, then continue whisking until the flour is smooth. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Cook and stir until the mixture bubbles and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, then stir in the reserved chicken, frekkeh or quinoa, asparagus, carrots and 1/2 cup melty cheese (Gouda, Fontina, etc.). Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake, covered, for 35 minutes, then uncover and stir the filling. Continue baking, uncovered, until the the freekeh is soft (or the quinoa is sprouted) and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 additional minutes. Some liquid may be bubbling at the top. Stir once more, then top with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Serve warm.

ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Asparagus Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two bunches fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Pinch salt
5 ounces Cheddar, grated
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 10 crackers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the asparagus to a large pot of boiling water, keeping the bundles together with rubber bands or string. Cook for a couple of minutes; the asparagus should be bright green and still crunchy. List the bundles out of the water and slice off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drop the trimmed ends back in the boiling water and lower to a simmer.
  • Run the asparagus tops under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and 1 cup of the asparagus cooking liquid. Add the salt and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the grated Cheddar and cook, stirring, until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the asparagus in the bottom of a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish, alternating the stem ends so each serving includes both heads and stems. Thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs and arrange them over the asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce over the eggs and asparagus and sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbles appear around the edges, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown spots.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can blanch the asparagus in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Use a good quality sharp knife to cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the chicken in the skillet. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the chicken.
  • Use a large casserole dish to make sure that there is enough room for all of the ingredients.
  • Be sure to stir the casserole occasionally while it is baking to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the dish.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of rice or your favorite bread.

Conclusion:

This cheesy chicken asparagus casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the asparagus is crisp and flavorful, and the cheese sauce is creamy and cheesy. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
