Tonight we're having chicken and
broccoli casserole.
It is easy and will feed a crowd and
I'll show you how to make this from
start to finish.
I'm Tess and welcome to my kitchen.
You can use egg noodles or any pasta
that you like for this casserole.
Tonight I'm using no yolk egg noodles and undercooking them by a minute since
these will continue cooking in the oven.
In my skillet over medium-high I'm
adding a little oil, some diced onions
and leeks. I usually add celery or
carrots but I happen to have leeks.
It's nice to change it up every now and
then. A little salt, black pepper and a good
stir and cooking for a minute.
Next are some mushrooms and minced
garlic. Another good stir and cooking for
another minute. You can find this recipe
in the list of ingredients in the
description box below.
No extra clicks, it's all right here!
I have a little over a pound of bite-sized chicken thighs and you can use
chicken breasts. Cooking for about five
minutes or until they are no longer pink.
The chicken does not have to be cooked
all the way through since it will finish
cooking in the oven. Turning off the heat
and moving on to the next step. I have my
oven preheating to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl I'm adding a can of cream
of chicken and cream of mushroom soup.
For some extra creaminess in goes a cup
of sour cream. Adding some milk and
giving it a good stir.
Next are the spices! I have some black
pepper, poultry seasoning, celery seed,
oregano and a little cayenne pepper for
a little kick!
I'm not adding any salt as the soup and
cheese have a good bit of sodium.
You can adjust the seasonings to your liking.
In goes a handful of fresh chopped parsley and you can use dried. Another good stir...
to get everything well incorporated.
Let's put everything together and get
this casserole in the oven. I'm adding in
my chicken and veggies with all the
juices. You can use all broccoli but I'm
using half cauliflower and half broccoli
tonight. It's all about what you have on
hand and it's all good! I'm adding about
a half a cup of grated cheese and
tonight I'm using a mixture of
mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
In goes my noodles and giving it a gentle but thorough mix. If you like this chicken

I'm putting everything in my greased
baking dish and leveling out , covering
and baking at 400 degrees for about 25
to 30 minutes.
One more step then we are ready to eat!
Removing from the oven and oh my that
smells so good!
Grating some Parmesan cheese on top
followed by the remainder of my
mozzarella and cheddar cheese. The
casserole is going back in the oven
uncovered for about 10 minutes or until
the cheese is melted.
Letting the casserole rest for 15
minutes and then we will fix a plate!
This chicken and broccoli casserole is
easy and delicious!
It will certainly feed a family of four
and you'll probably have leftovers for lunch.
A great budget meal ! The chicken
thighs have wonderful flavor along with
the broccoli and other veggies, the
broccoli still has a little crunch and
not mushy. The cream soups and the cheese bring it all together.  Add in the spices
you like and make it your own.  Give
this easy and delicious chicken and
broccoli casserole a try.
Until next time, enjoy.
