Kale and Artichoke Chicken Casserole image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 bunches kale, tough center stems removed, chopped into 2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup 2 percent milk
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
8 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the kale and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, squeeze out any moisture and dry very well.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden on some sides and most of the pink is no longer visible, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon (the chicken will not be fully cooked).
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add another tablespoon of oil if the skillet is dry, then add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to dissolve the flour, then stir in the chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer while stirring. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the kale, artichokes and cayenne, then add the chicken and any collected juices. Cook, stirring, until the kale and artichokes are hot and the chicken is just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
  • Preheat the broiler to high. Spray an 8-inch broiler-proof baking dish with cooking spray and spoon the mixture inside. Top with the panko and remaining tablespoon Parmesan. Broil about 3 inches from the element until golden brown in spots, about 3 minutes.

CHICKEN AND KALE ALFREDO BAKE



Chicken and Kale Alfredo Bake image

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounce whole-wheat penne pasta, uncooked
2 cups kale, stemmed, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cup milk
2 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shallot, chopped
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 1/2 tablespoon whole-wheat panko

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with water to boil. Add pasta; cook 6 minutes. Add kale; cook 2 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Drain. Place pasta mixture in a large bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. Add to pan; cook 8 minutes or until done. Add chicken to pasta mixture (do not wipe out pan).
  • Combine milk, flour, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Heat pan over medium. Add shallot to drippings in pan; cook 2 minutes. Stir in rind and juice; cook 1 minute. Add milk mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until thickened. Add milk mixture to pasta mixture; toss to coat.
  • Spoon pasta mixture into a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, mozzarella, and panko. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes until browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Any type of pasta can be used for this recipe, but a short pasta like penne or rotini is a good choice because it will hold the sauce well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. The Alfredo sauce is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh ingredients and has a creamy, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken and kale, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken and kale will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
  • Season the chicken and kale well. Be sure to season the chicken and kale well with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken and Kale Alfredo Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and hearty kale make this dish a surefire hit with the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your Chicken and Kale Alfredo Bake turns out perfect every time.
