2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup onion, finely diced
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook until al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside until needed.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 cup broccoli; toss and cook just until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle broccoli with flour, and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Pour in the milk, and stir to blend. Season with salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper powder, if desired. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer mixture until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, ground chicken, and remaining 1 cup of broccoli. Cook and stir until chicken is evenly browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven broiler to High. Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Toss the pasta with the broccoli sauce until evenly blended. Stir in the sour cream, if desired. Stir the broccoli sauce mixture into the chicken mixture. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.

CREAMY CHICKEN, PASTA AND BROCCOLI BAKE



Creamy Chicken, Pasta and Broccoli Bake image

A tasty one dish meal from Kraft. They kept it quite light, and it's still creamy and comforting. You can use any shaped pasta and try to go for the high fibre ones. Smart Pasta has the most fibre, but you can use whole wheat or whatever your favourite is. I listed whole wheat so the nutritional count would be better and Zaar doesn't accept Smart Pasta. Enjoy!

CREAMY CHICKEN QUINOA AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Creamy Chicken Quinoa and Broccoli Casserole Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-46106

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 cup flour
2 cups water, divided
1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional... sort of)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons seasoning (like Emeril's Essence or any basic blend you like)
1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (any kind will work)
3 cups fresh broccoli florets

Steps:

  • Sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and generously grease a 9×13 baking dish (seriously, be generous because it really really sticks to the sides). Bring the chicken broth and ½ cup milk to a low boil in a saucepan. Whisk the other ½ cup milk with the poultry seasoning and flour; add the mixture to the boiling liquid and whisk until a smooth creamy sauce forms. Assembly: In a large bowl, mix the sauce from step one, one cup water, quinoa, and bacon and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and lay the chicken breasts strips over the top of the quinoa mixture. Sprinkle with the seasoning. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Broccoli: While the casserole is in the oven, place the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute until it turns bright green and then run under cold water. Set aside. Bake: Remove the casserole from the oven, check the mixture by stirring it around in the pan, and if needed, cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. When the quinoa and chicken are cooked, add the broccoli and a little bit of water (up to one cup) until the consistency is creamy and smooth and you can stir it up easily in the pan. Top with the cheese and bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or just long enough to melt the cheese. Notes You will know the quinoa is done when it is soft and looks as if it has popped open, with the germ of the kernel visible as a little spiral. If you want the chicken to get that browned exterior, leave the foil off for part of the cooking time, but be aware that the quinoa does take a lot longer to cook without the foil.

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!
