Just Like Grandma Used To Make

Okay…so I don’t remember my Grandma{s} making anything like this growing up, but it definitely reminds me of something a grandma would whip up.  It’s SUCH a comfort food it’s ridiculous.  I won’t begin to tell you how many servings I helped myself to, nor will I share the quickness in which it was devoured.  This is the PERFECT makes-me-feel-so-cozy meal and we’ll DEFINITELY be eating this again…SOON!!

CREAMY CHICKEN & BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

3 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

1 cup of mayo

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup colby & monterrey jack cheese

1 bag frozen broccoli,thawed and chopped

salt & pepper to taste

Cook chicken & shred.  Meanwhile, chop the broccoli.  Okay…so we used frozen broccoli, and while I know they make the frozen chopped broccoli, the store was OUT.  SO, I chopped my own…and it didn’t take any time.

Now, mix all ingredients together.

Cook for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

And the most important part…SERVE WITH RICE!!!!  Omg…SO AMAZING!!!!!!!  This is definitely a meal where the leftovers are *almost* better!! These pictures are making my mouth water…time to eat!!!

I'm going to have to make this on a smaller scale for my little one. This has all the foods she loves!

Keri said...

This looks absolutely delicious! However I am a beginner when it comes to cooking - I never had anyone teach me how - so I have a silly question. How should I cook the chicken? And about how many servings does this recipe make? Thanks!

My mom used to make this ALL the time! It was her go-to potluck dinner dish :)

Instead of mayo you can use plain Greek Yogurt, like Chobani.

To cook the chicken, just boil it in water until done. Looks like it's cooked in a standard cake pan, probably makes 6-8 servings.

This looks and sounds so delish!! WE are a dairy free household and I'm thinking I can make it dairy free :) I may mix cooked rice into it before cooking!! YUM!!

Laura said...

can this be done in a slow cooker? how long and what setting? I made it the other day and it was LUSH!el

Emily said...

I just made this! It was so good :) Reminds me of one my mom made growing up! I will say it needs salt and pepper to boost the flavor. Thanks for sharing!! Gonna try some of your other recipes!!

I don't eat Mayo do you think I could use sour cream instead??

Kara said...

Sweet Sassiness! (Is that a word?)
I just made this and it is wonderful!
We get our freezer stocked 2 times a year by this wonderful company. The chicken breasts are way too big for one meal (there's only usually 2 of us) so into the freezer the leftovers go. Just perfect for a casserole!
I substituted some sour cream and cream cheese because I didn't have real mayo and was concerned with miracle whip.
Oh my my my it is heavenly!

Trying this out tonight... just a little tip, if you're lazy like me, you can buy a rotisserie chicken and skin it/shred it rather than separately preparing chicken.

This recipe is similar to one I've been making for years. The recipe I have calls for curry powder and some lemon juice. I leave the chicken and broccoli in bite size pieces and stir with the soup mixture. The cheese goes on top. Yummy!!!

I have made this casserole for years, with a few additions, 1 T Curry powder, plus 1/2 C sour cream. We have always served it in Pepperidge Farm Patty Shells. We also call it "Chicken Curry". Always a hit, so easy to make ahead. I always make it when I have invited one of my children's boyfriends or girlfriends over, and we are meeting them for the first time. This dish helps me enjoy my company and I know this casserole is always a crowd pleaser!
