GRANDMA'S CHEESY BROCCOLI & CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli & Chicken Casserole image

This is down home comfort food at it's finest. It was the only way my grams or mom could get me to eat my broccoli while growing up. These days I use brown rice for a lower carb, healthier version. Sometimes I also use chicken thigh instead of breast because it's so much more tender. I hope you love it was much as I do.

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Grandma's Chicken Casserole image

From Grandma Smith. From this recipe, I make one large casserole and one 8-inch round casserole. I think the recipe could be halved easily, but when making for myself, I freeze one casserole for later use. Freezes well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your casserole.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender and juicy.

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chicken broccoli casserole. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find the combination that you like best.
