I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

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.
