ONE-SKILLET CHEESY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

One-Skillet Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole image

This hearty, cheesy, whole-grain casserole is destined to become a family favourite. It combines tender chicken breasts with broccoli florets and brown rice, binding everything together with a creamy sauce. The cooking starts on the stovetop (and microwave), and a quick stint in the oven melts the cheese and slightly crisps the top. We call for cooked brown rice, which you can find either in the freezer section (thaw it first) or in shelf-stable pouches on the rice aisle.

Categories Dinner,Lunch

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

12 oz Uncooked broccoli florets
2 tsp(s) Canola oil
1 cup(s) Uncooked onion(s) chopped
1 pound(s) Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s) cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tsp(s) Kosher salt divided
0.75 tsp(s) Black pepper divided
3.5 tbsp(s) All-purpose flour
1.5 cup(s) No-salt-added chicken stock
0.5 cup(s) 2% reduced fat milk
2.5 cup(s) Cooked long grain brown rice
1 cup(s), shredded Reduced-fat cheddar cheese or reduced-fat Colby Jack
0.333 cup(s) Plain fat free Greek yogurt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 tbsp water. Cover and microwave on High for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Uncover and drain off the water.
Heat the oil in a large (10- or 12-in) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion to the pan; sauté 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper; cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour into the chicken stock. Add the flour mixture, milk, and remaining ¾ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper to the skillet; bring to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the rice, ⅓ cup cheese, and yogurt. Carefully stir in the broccoli (pan will be very full).
Sprinkle the remaining ⅔ cup cheese over the rice mixture. Bake until the cheese melts and the casserole is bubbly around the edges, about 15 minutes.
Serving size: 1 ⅓ cups

Tips:

For a crispier casserole, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can use a rotisserie chicken.
To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Bake it before serving.
You can also freeze the casserole for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Serve the casserole with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
