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.
Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 2 qt. casserole dish & heat oven to 375.
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!!!
YUM! I just ate but this is still making my mouth water! Hope you have a great day! ~Andrea

ReplyDeleteSubstitute greenbeans/mushrooms/carrots:)
DeleteJust went to the store to get all the goodies for this recipe! I am a huge fan of easy peasy casseroles, and I am excited to try this tonight for dinner! Love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Meredith N and I am loving your blog. Making this casserole asap. Love your stuff and love all my new recipes. keep it up girl!! Leslie
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to make this on a smaller scale for my little one. This has all the foods she loves!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeletewould love to make ! Wish I had the Wight watchers points for it LOL
ReplyDeleteCan you subs sour cream for the mayo ?

My mom used to make this ALL the time! It was her go-to potluck dinner dish :)
ReplyDeleteInstead of mayo you can use plain Greek Yogurt, like Chobani.
ReplyDeleteTo 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!!
ReplyDeletecan this be done in a slow cooker? how long and what setting? I made it the other day and it was LUSH!el
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteI don't eat Mayo do you think I could use sour cream instead??
ReplyDeleteSweet Sassiness! (Is that a word?)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteMaking it now and cannot wait to try it! Thanks so much for your site...I love it!
ReplyDeleteJust made this. Was delicious! Add onion and maybe some noodles and that would make it perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I am adding it to my shopping list for my upcoming meal plan. I will be sharing this link on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love this! This is actually something my grandmother did make when we were growing up. But ours had rice in it and no mayo. It's still a family favorite today and now I made it for every holiday :) Looks wonderful here!
ReplyDeletePs. we've started adding bacon bits to ours and it's ah-mazing!
I am so making this for supper tonite. After reading this I went to your blog and went through some of the other recipes you have posted, and wow,I have got to try some)many) of them. Thanks for all the great recipes and a great laugh, will be following your blog fathfully! H

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to trying this dish but what are some good items to eat along with it?
ReplyDeleteJust made this with the new garlic and herb mayo that's out in the market and it turned out fantastic! Thanks for the great recipe.
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and the whole family loved it. I measured one cup of minute rice, cooked it and then added to the mixture before placing in the oven.
ReplyDeleteDoes it need to be covered while it's cooking? Making this for dinner tonight, I'm super excited!

ReplyDeleteNow that was a really healthy dialogue right there. Gets your blood pumping really fast and strong. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us. http://onlytechnologytrend.com/
ReplyDeletei am happy to know this.popular movies
ReplyDeleteI grew up on this, with the addition of curry powder and lemon juice to the "sauce". We always layered the ingredients- rice on the bottom, then broccoli, chicken and finally sauce on top. Sprinkle cheese over the top for the last five minutes of baking. This has been a family favorite for decades!
ReplyDeleteDo you cook the rice before and do you steam the broc before adding it to the casserole?
DeleteI cook the rice before I add it and I don't steam the broccoli. Just let it thaw out.
DeleteYour site is good Actually, i have seen your post and That was very informative and very entertaining for me. Thanks for posting Really Such Things. I should recommend your site to my friends.logo design
ReplyDeleteThis blog is very useful information for me and guidance.definition essay ideas
ReplyDeleteSo I've made this recipe before and I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteQuestion though, does this freeze well? Don't know if it matters but I mix rice in when I make this.
Thanks!
I didn't have broccoli. Hubs hated broccoli anyway. So I subbed cauliflower instead and omit the salt since I'm on salt-free diet and used a can of low salt cream of chicken soup as well. Hubs LOVED it so he had 2nds; my teen son had 3 helpings so it was earmarked to make again in the future. Hubs never liked or cared to eat but it was a first for him to tell me to make it again!
