Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lbs broccoli (3 large heads) chopped
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp. light butter
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp. shallots, minced (onions would work too)
4 Tbsp. flour
1 cup fat free chicken broth
1 cup fat free milk
1/4 cup white wine (or dry sherry)
6 oz. shredded reduced fat swiss cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch for about 3 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Using a grill pan, saute chicken on medium-low heat on both sides until browned, and just about cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a cutting board. When cooled, slice chicken into bite sized pieces. Heat a medium skillet on medium heat. Add the butter and oil until melted and then add garlic and shallots (or onions). Sprinkle flour and whisk until smooth. Stir in broth, milk and wine (or sherry) and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in half of the swiss cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange broccoli in a casserole dish and pour half of the sauce over the broccoli. Arrange the chicken on top and cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle in remaining Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan cheese and top with bread crumbs. Spray a little oil on top. Bake 30 minutes, serve hot.

I love this casserole because it's so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I sometimes add some chopped bacon or mushrooms, or I'll use different types of cheese.

I'm not usually a fan of casseroles, but this one was really good. The chicken was juicy and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was a little disappointed. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too thin. I think I might have overcooked the chicken, so I will try it again with a lower temperature.
