Chicken With Broccoli and Cheese image

This is a tried and true recipe I've made for years and one of my favourites both for ease and very few dishes to wash. It's also a family favourite and it is time to get it written down so I don't forget how to make it :). Even my non-broccoli kids will eat this one. It's really lovely served with egg noodles.

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 ml extra virgin olive oil

  • Cut chicken into strips or cubes, your preference.

  • Heat oil in pan, lightly brown meat, remove from pan (I use the lid of my electric fry pan, it's deep enough and less dishes too :D ).
  • Saute minced garlic for approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth to pan (you can substitute milk for a lower fat content) and deglaze chicken bits from bottom of pan.
  • Add can of cheddar cheese soup and stir well.
  • Stir in chicken pieces and broccoli florets (if using frozen, thaw broccoli and save until last 5 minutes of simmer time).
  • Reduce heat, cover pan and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally (remember to add the thawed broccoli after 15 minutes if using frozen).
  • Uncover pan, increase heat to medium, stir in shredded swiss cheese and cook an additional 5 minutes, reducing sauce. You can also add 80- 125 ml (1/3 to 1/2 cup) of half an half at this point for a creamier sauce).
