CREAMY CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI SKILLET



Creamy Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Skillet image

This is a simple, easy recipe I make on nights when I don't feel like making something that's time consuming or when the weather is cold. I also substitute 3 cans (12 oz.) of chicken if I don't have time to cook the chicken breasts. Some variations yield different flavors, ( substituting cream of chicken for broccoli cheese, etc.) so be adventurous! :)

Provided by BluJasmine

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
2 (8 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup (although you can substitute cream of broccoli, broccoli cheese, or cheddar cheese soup)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can evaporated milk or 8 ounces half-and-half
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheese (any variety, although I have found a cheddar or colby-jack blend works best)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
egg noodles or rice

Steps:

  • Cook chicken and allow to cool. Dice and set aside or use canned chicken and drain.
  • Mix the soup, sour cream and milk in a mixing bowl with the seasonings listed. Put on stovetop on medium-low and add chicken. Stir occasionally until slightly bubbly. Add the cheese and cook until melted, stirring occasionally. Set temperature to simmer until noodles or rice are done.
  • Put frozen broccoli in a microwave safe dish and cook, covered until thawed, (usually about 3-5 minutes, depending on microwaves). Drain, if needed, and pour and stir into chicken mixture. (One thing I have done is, I line a glass bowl or dish with about 4 paper towels, and pour the frozen broccoli on the towels. I then cover the dish, and nuke for about 4-6 minutes. When it's done, the broccoli doesn't need draining because the towels absorbed all the liquid from the frozen broccoli).
  • Prepare egg noodles or rice as directed on packaging.
  • Serve creamy, cheesy mixture over noodles or rice. I imagine you could serve it over stuffing as well, although I have yet to try it that way. Serve with a salad. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients to ensure the highest quality and flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and broccoli, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in soggy, undercooked food.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Be sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and will prevent any potential foodborne illness.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will also allow the flavors to meld together more effectively.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken broccoli skillet is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the dish is piping hot and that the vegetables are still crisp and tender.
