Time 1h8m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups water
¾ cup quinoa
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups broccoli florets
cooking spray
1 pound shredded rotisserie chicken
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of broccoli soup
1 ¼ cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon stevia powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve until water runs clear. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, quinoa, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a shallow 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine chicken, cream of broccoli soup, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, milk, stevia powder, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in quinoa and broccoli. Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is bubbly and edges are golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

This casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I substituted the cheese with a dairy-free alternative. It turned out great! This casserole is a great option for people with dietary restrictions.

This casserole is delicious and healthy, but it is a bit time-consuming to make. I would recommend making it on a weekend or when you have some extra time.
