This strata is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love it and they don't even realize they're eating broccoli.

This strata was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some diced ham or sausage.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The broccoli was tender, the chicken was moist, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I served it with a side of fruit salad and it was a delicious meal.
