Provided by Kristin Marr

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
6 TB unsalted butter
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (3 ounces)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 cup long grain white rice (200g, uncooked)
1 cup chicken broth (no salt added)
3-4 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts*, uncooked)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 TB unsalted butter
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp salt
½ cup shredded parmesan (1.75 ounces)
large bowl
medium saucepan
casserole dish (9x13 or 2 ½-3 quart casserole dish**)
foil ( if using a casserole dish without a lid)

Steps:

  • Add the cream, milk, and butter to a medium-size saucepan. Warm over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until melted.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients (cheese, garlic, salt, pepper), and whisk until the cheese is melted.
  • Let the sauce thicken slightly over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a casserole dish.
  • Chop the broccoli florets no larger than 1" pieces (or use pre-chopped frozen broccoli). Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • Dice the chicken in 1" cubes; season with salt, pepper, and paprika and add to the bowl.
  • Add the uncooked rice and chicken broth to the bowl. Pour the prepared alfredo sauce into the bowl as well. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the greased pan and cover tightly with foil or a lid. It must be sealed tightly for the rice to cook through.
  • Bake, covered, for 45 minutes.
  • While baking, prepare the topping (if using). Add the panko, butter, and seasoning (oregano, paprika, salt) to a medium-size skillet (use the same skillet from making the sauce, just rinse it off). Saute over medium heat, stirring, until nicely browned. Do not burn.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover. Top with the prepared panko and shredded parmesan. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN ALFREDO CASSEROLE



Chicken Alfredo Casserole image

This family-friendly casserole is great for a large gathering. You can make and assemble it a day ahead, just bring it back to room temperature before baking. We like boneless skinless chicken thighs because they cook quickly and stay moist and tender.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 cloves garlic (4 crushed, 2 chopped)
3 wide strips lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 pound penne
6 cups small broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Butter an 11-by-14-inch or other 4-quart baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Put the chicken in a dutch oven or other large pot, then add the chicken broth, crushed garlic, lemon zest, rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. Partially cover and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (you should have 2 cups liquid; if necessary, add a little water to make 2 cups). When the chicken is cool enough to handle, tear or shred into small pieces. Wipe the dutch oven clean.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente, adding the broccoli during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Let drain in the colander while you make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste; cook until the flour is no longer raw, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the reserved 2 cups cooking liquid and the heavy cream; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Return to a simmer, whisking to make a smooth sauce. Cook over low heat until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan, the parsley and lemon juice. Add the chicken, pasta and broccoli and stir to coat. Transfer to the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the mozzarella. Bake until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Provided by krissymarie

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Pasta

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
½ (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Place chicken, noodles, Alfredo sauce, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix well. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Layer remaining mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and fluffy rice make all the difference.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat to prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Make sure the Alfredo sauce is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a little milk or cream to thin it out.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the casserole. This will add color, flavor, and nutrition to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella are all great options for a cheesy casserole.
  • Top the casserole with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers for a crispy topping.
  • Serve the casserole hot out of the oven with a side salad or garlic bread.

Conclusion:

Chicken Alfredo and rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. With its creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and fluffy rice, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
