Healthier Broccoli Chicken Casserole
This Healthier Broccoli Chicken Casserole is made from scratch using pasta, broccoli, mushrooms, chicken stock, sharp Cheddar cheese, milk, and chicken. It’s on the lighter side, but retains everything you love about broccoli chicken casserole recipes of childhood. Creamy, cheesy, and cozy, it’s a wonderful dish for family or company.
This cold-weather pasta recipe is ready in an hour. Start by cooking the pasta and broccoli. Meanwhile, sauté the onions with butter, then add the mushrooms and garlic. Once the mushrooms are cooked through, stir in the flour. Next, add in the stock, milk, and seasonings. Cook the sauce until it starts to simmer, then remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Place the cooked broccoli, pasta, chicken, and mushroom sauce in a large baking dish and mix together until combined. Bake the casserole for 15 minutes, then top with more cheese and continue baking until the cheese has melted. Garnish with extra cracked black pepper and fresh herbs. Serve with a big green salad. Enjoy!
