Smoked Chicken-Broccoli Casserole
From: Peggy @ buttoni.wordpress.com/2018/10/03/smoked-chicken-broccoli-casserole/
This recipe came about from a huge chicken breast we smoked on the grill last week that was not eaten. I froze it unsure of what I would do with it. I pulled it out to defrost and made tonight’s dinner with it. I had a lovely head of broccoli in the fridge, so I decided to go from there. The end result was incredibly rich and delicious. My husband ranted about this one, so I’ll be making it again. The smoke flavor of the meat made it most tasty!
Makes: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 large grilled chicken breast, chopped (mine yielded 2½ cups)
1 stalk broccoli, stem removed, cut into small flowerets
2 T. butter, unsalted
2 oz. onion, slivered thinly
6 large mushrooms, sliced
8 oz. cream cheese
2/3 cup heavy cream
¼ cup hemp hearts (optional)
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Dash coarse black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350º.
Melt butter in skillet and saute onion & mushrooms until translucent.
While it is cooking, cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Add the broccoli to the pan and saute for just 1-2 minutes.
Dot the skillet with small pieces of the cream cheese and blend to aid in melting.
Add the cream, shredded Parmesan hemp heart and fold all together lightly to blend.
Remove from heat and pour/spoon into a lightly oiled baking dish.
Pop into 350º oven for 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to meld and develop.
Remove and serve with a nice green salad.
