Cheddar Broccoli Chicken Skillet - Pampered Chef image

I received an email this morning from my Pampered Chef Consultant and this is one of the recipes that was featured. Here is what the email said: September is National Rice Month - "Rice is a good choice for a healthy diet. It is a good source of complex carbohydrates and can help you achieve a reduced fat diet." --American Dietetic Association Rice protein, when compared to that of other grains, is considered one of the highest quality proteins. It has all eight of the essential amino acids, necessary building blocks for strong muscles. Rice is also a good source of other essential nutrients - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, iron, and potassium.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good options for this dish. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to slice them into thin strips so they cook evenly.
  • Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli florets will give you the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen broccoli florets, but be sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken and broccoli will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and broccoli in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give you the best flavor. If you don't have sharp cheddar cheese on hand, you can use a mild cheddar cheese, but it will not have as much flavor.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken and broccoli will be at their best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken broccoli cheddar skillet is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a one-pot dish, which means cleanup is a breeze. The chicken and broccoli are cooked in a creamy cheddar cheese sauce, and the whole dish is topped with crispy bacon. This dish is sure to become a family favorite.
