Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Makes 4 servings and per serving you receive:

 

·         1 lean protein

·         1 ½ greens

·         1 healthy fat

·         2 condiments

Ingredients:

6oz cooked cubed chicken

16 oz (1lb) bag of frozen broccoli “then cooked”

½ cup green onion

2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 cube chicken bouillon (or 1 tsp bouillon powder)

½ cup water

4 tsp olive oil

½ tsp pepper

¼ cup sour cream

1 cup part-skim ricotta

Directions

Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole pan – I used left over bacon grease for added flavor, pan spray would be okay too (just maybe not as tasty ;))

Add broccoli, onion, chicken bouillon, water, olive oil and pepper to a medium frying pan. 

Cook covered for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

In a medium bowl mix the chicken chunks, garlic powder, sour cream and ricotta cheese together. Mix till blended.

After 10 minutes of cooking the veggies, pour the broccoli mix into the bowl with the chicken. Stir until blended. 

Add 1/4 c of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the mix. Stir.

Transfer your mix to the greased pan and spread evenly.

Add the remaining mozzarella cheese to the top and pop that baby in the oven!

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 – 60 minutes. 

Once the top layer of cheese is browned a bit it should be done. 

If you like your broccoli on the softer side bake until the florets are to your liking.

Serve warm and enjoy!
