SMOKY CHICKEN, BROCCOLI RABE AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE



Smoky Chicken, Broccoli Rabe and Wild Rice Casserole image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup medium-diced onion (about 1 medium onion)
1/2 cup medium-diced celery (about 2 stalks)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups creme fraiche
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon roasted garlic paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Meat from 1 large roasted or rotisserie chicken, diced
3 cups cooked wild rice (not puffed open)
2 cups chopped broccoli rabe
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch enameled cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, to cook off the raw taste, about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk together the chicken stock, creme fraiche, sherry vinegar, garlic paste and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Slowly stir the liquid into the onion mixture, whisking the entire time. Lumps might form at first but just keep whisking -- they will go away. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the sauce simmers and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the chicken, rice, broccoli rabe, rosemary, liquid smoke, red pepper flakes and cheese. Top with the sliced almonds and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured. Ensuring broccoli rabe is cleaned and chopped, chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces, and all other ingredients are ready to use will save time and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Cooking the Chicken: Whether you prefer pan-frying or baking, cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is thoroughly cooked and safe to consume.
  • Broccoli Rabe: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh broccoli rabe. Trim the tough ends and coarsely chop the broccoli rabe, including the tender stems and florets.
  • Cheese: Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Gruyère cheese are all excellent choices for this casserole.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more garlic, salt, or pepper if you prefer a more robust flavor.
  • Baking: Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
