1 bag (12 oz) frozen broccoli florets
About 1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-size pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes, as desired
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
3/4 cup Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 10-inch round baking dish with olive oil; set aside.
  • Microwave frozen broccoli on microwavable plate uncovered on High 4 minutes; set aside.
  • In 10-inch skillet, heat a few teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook until golden on outsides and no longer pink in center. Remove chicken to plate. Add onion to the still-hot pan; season with salt, and cook until onion begins to soften and become translucent. Add garlic; cook 60 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, followed by flour, and stir to make a roux. Cook the roux 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly golden. Gradually beat in the chicken broth with whisk, followed by the milk, and simmer until slightly thickened into a gravy.
  • Either in the skillet (if large enough), or a large mixing bowl, mix the chicken, gravy, broccoli, brown rice, and half of the cheese. Pour mixture into baking dish. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and melted butter; add remaining cheese, and spread the mixture on top of casserole.
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until top is crisp and golden and casserole is bubbling around edges. Let sit a few minutes before serving.

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE - GLUTEN FREE



Chicken and Broccoli Casserole - Gluten Free image

A creamy chicken casserole with broccoli that goes great over rice. This was made up to meet fussy kid tastes and to be gluten free with very few ingredients on hand. Very simple, but it does take a little prep time to reduce the mushroom soup. Progresso makes a chunky, creamy mushroom soup that is gluten free. Great comfort food for gluten free diets without being bland.

GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN, BROCCOLI AND BROWN RICE CASSEROLE RECIPE



Gluten Free Chicken, Broccoli and Brown Rice Casserole Recipe image

This is a quick, easy way leftover chicken and leftover rice... you my add seasonings according to you preference. If you like, you can add cream cheese and/or Parmesan cheese to the roux for an Alfredo-like casserole. Instead of using canned cream of chicken (or any "cream of" soup), a very easy roux is made from cornstarch, butter and milk. I use a soy free butter substitute and lactose free, fat milk due to lactose intolerance... no one has ever noticed these substitutions.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound(s) cooked chicken, cut up
1 cup(s) cooked brown rice (you may use white rice)
1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, if using frozen, microwave for about 3 min. to thaw)
2 tablespoon(s) butter
2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1 1/2 cup(s) cups fat free milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- (other seasonings i like are: curry powdercurry powder, italian seasoning, poultry seasoning... feel free to experiment!)
2 tablespoon(s) (or more) . gluten freegluten free bread crumbsbread crumbs (i add italian seasoning to the crumbs)
- cream cheese and/or parmesan cheese (amount depends upon your taste - taste - there is no hard and fast amount) to the roux for an alfredo-like casserole.

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, broccoli and rice in an ovenproof casserole dish. Toss to mix.
  • To make the roux: melt the butter in a medium size saucepan. Add the cornstarch and blend thoroughly. While blending, add the milk and seasonings. Continue stirring until a cream soup consistency is reached. At this point, you may add the cheese(s). Since the cheese will thicken the sauce, you may have to add more milk.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken/broccoli/rice mixture. Top with gluten free bread crumbs.
  • Bake in pre-heated 350 F oven, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes (depending upon your oven). Remove from oven and serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • If you don't have brown rice on hand, you can use white rice or quinoa instead.
  • Be sure to season the casserole to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • For a cheesy casserole, sprinkle some shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top before baking.
