Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 oz pasta
12 oz broccoli - I used frozen cut broccoli
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp flour
1 cup chicken stock (vegetable stock could also be used)
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh-cracked black pepper
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided (8 oz)
1 lb diced cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente. About 2 minutes before the pasta is done, add the broccoli to the pasta water and stir until combined. This will save you a dish. Drain the pasta and broccoli.
  • Using a sauté pan melt the butter or oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir until combined. Cook for an additional 1 minute. Slowly add in the stock, and stir everything together until mostly smooth and clumps are gone. Add in the milk, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper and stir until fully combined. Continue to cook the sauce until it reaches a simmer. Then remove the sauce from heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese until thoroughly melted and combined.
  • Using a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, broccoli, chicken and cheese sauce. Toss until combined. Even out the ingredients in the casserole dish.
  • Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes. Then remove pan from the oven, to sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melted.
  • Serve Warm.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta, uncooked
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
