Description
A delicious chicken and broccoli casserole that is easy to prepare and perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups diced, cooked chicken
- 4 cups frozen broccoli pieces, partly thawed
- 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice, partly thawed
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 3/4 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice (or more if you really like lemon)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons hot curry powder
- 1/3 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Thaw broccoli in the fridge overnight if possible.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray an 11 X 8 casserole dish (or similar size) with non-stick spray.
- Cut up enough chicken to make 3 cups of diced, cooked chicken.
- Measure out the cauliflower rice and broccoli and let them thaw on the counter. (When thawed, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces if needed.)
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the chopped onion for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat, or just until it barely starts to brown.
- Add the diced chicken and broccoli and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring a few times. Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste.
- Add the cauliflower rice and combine with the chicken and broccoli. Turn off heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Whisk together the sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, curry powder, and hot curry powder (if using).
- Gently mix the sauce into the chicken-broccoli mixture in the frying pan.
- Put the mixture into the casserole dish and top with the grated Mozzarella.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is starting to brown.
Notes
- For best results, thaw broccoli in the fridge overnight.
