How to Make Broccoli Chicken Casserole
You’ll start by pre-cooking your chicken breast in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees if you’re using un-cooked chicken. To save time, you can use rotisserie chicken. It works great with this recipe.
Then, cook your pasta, preheat your oven to 450 degrees, heat your butter in a large pan over medium-high heat, and cook your onion in the pan for around 3 minutes.
Then, you’ll add in your garlic and mushrooms and cook for about 6 more minutes.
Next, sprinkle your flour evenly over the top of your ingredients in the pan, stir, and cook until combined.
After, add in your chicken stock, stir until the clumps are gone, and then stir in your mustard, milk, salt, and pepper.
Turn down the heat to medium, continue cooking until the sauce simmers, remove from heat and add 1 cup of mixed cheeses, and stir until everything is melted and combined.
Now, cook your broccoli florets for one minute and combine your cooked pasta, broccoli, sauce, and cooked chicken into a large casserole dish and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Finally, remove your casserole from the oven, sprinkle the rest of your cheeses on top, and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes. Serve warm and with extra pepper if you’d like. Enjoy!
