Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 to 1 ¼ pound (or 2 ½ cups chopped rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, from 1 small crown, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup diced yellow onion
- ½ cup diced carrot, from 1 small carrot
- ½ cup diced celery, from 2 ribs celery
- 10 ¾ ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup 2% milk
- ½ cup sour cream, light or regular
- 6 ounces chicken stuffing mix, I used Stovetop Stuffing Chicken Flavor
- 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
Steps
- subheading: TO COOK THE CHICKEN:
- Place the chicken in a 12-inch skillet and add the chicken broth. The chicken breasts should be nearly, but not totally, covered in liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil over HIGH heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to MEDIUM-LOW and cover the skillet. Allow the chicken to simmer at a low boil for about 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and keep the cooking liquid in the skillet. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. (*See note below if using rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey.)
- PARTIALLY COOK THE BROCCOLI
- Return the skillet with the cooking liquid to HIGH heat and add the broccoli. When the liquid reaches a boil, reduce the heat to MEDIUM-LOW, cover, and simmer briefly, until just barely fork tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a colander to drain. (**See note below if using frozen broccoli.)
- COOK THE REMAINING VEGGIES
- Wipe the empty skillet down, add the olive oil, and place over MEDIUM-LOW heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until just fork tender. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch. baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- ASSEMBLE AND BAKE
- In a large bowl, combine the soup, milk, and sour cream until well blended. Add the stuffing mix (and seasoning packet if separate), chicken (or turkey), broccoli, veggies, and 1 cup of the cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
Notes
- If using rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey you can skip the step of cooking the chicken. Just chop it into bite-size pieces before combining it with the remaining ingredients.
- *If using frozen broccoli florets you can skip the step of partially cooking the broccoli. Just thaw them completely, chop into 1-inch pieces, and combine with the remaining ingredients as directed.
- Storage
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. For longer storage, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 to 3 months.
- Reheat individual servings of the chicken casserole in the microwave, just until warmed through. Larger amounts can be reheated in a covered baking dish in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
