Today is a reminder that spring is just around the corner, and so it's put me in the mood to make some winter-type comfort food before it gets too warm for casseroles. This recipe is not organic, local or particularly healthy, but it is one of our favorites: Chicken-Broccoli-Cheese casserole or just "Casserole" as it's known here. I actually don't have a recipe per se, but here is basically how to make it (all measurements are approximate):
1-1.5 lb chicken breast
1 can cream of chicken (or mushroom, or whatever you want) soup
mayonnaise
frozen broccoli
approx 1-1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (we like cabot sharp)
bread crumbs
Cube chicken and put in the bottom of a 2-1/2 qt casserole dish. Place frozen broccoli on top (as much as you like...I use most of a 1 lb bag). In a small bowl, pour can of cream of chicken soup, and add about half that much mayonnaise, stirring together. Spoon over the top of the broccoli, and spread as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and bread crumbs. Cover and bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 15-20 more minutes. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then serve over rice. Enjoy!
