Last week, I had gone to the grocery store and their chicken breasts and broccoli were both on sale. I picked up a few pounds of both and decided to try something new for dinner. Since my family is a huge fan of my “melt in your mouth chicken“, I chose to follow that theme and spice it up a bit.
The whole family loved this casserole; and I especially loved the fact that it was a one pan dinner. That made the clean up a breeze!!
Best part was, since everything was on sale, this meal was fairly inexpensive!! My family gave it two thumbs up and we added it to our meal rotation!! You can even add some chicken tikka masala spices for some heat, click here to check them out!
Enjoy!!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 6 small Gold Yukon potatoes, quartered
- 1 lb broccoli florets, diced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Directions:
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, potatoes, broccoli, mayonnaise, black pepper, and garlic.
- Spread mixture evenly into prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and cheddar cheese on top.
- Place pan in a preheated oven, 375, and bake for about 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. *Adjust time according to potato size
Made this tonight and we loved it. I used the Hellman’s olive oil Mayonaise. Thanks for a great easy recipe.
Yea! So glad you enjoyed it!!
Disappointing. Followed recipe to the letter. Although the mayo added a nice flavor it curdled making it visually very unappealing. Only 2 servings were eaten – the rest was thrown away.
So bummed to hear this as this is a family favorite! I am trying to think of why that would happen and can’t come up with a solution! So sorry!!
Can you use light mayo in replace of regular mayo?
Absolutely!! Enjoy!
Is this suitable for freezing?
Hmmm, I am always a bit hesitant due to the mayonnaise in this. It doesn’t tend to freeze well and always has a curdled look to it once thawed 🙁
Does the broccoli need to be fresh or can I use frozen broccoli?
You can use frozen as well, just let it thaw slightly! Enjoy!
I made this with non-fat Greek yogurt and broasted chicken. It was easy to assemble and tasted great. Will definitely make it again!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Dee. Lish.
Thank you so much, Kristin!
This was AWESOME!
God Bless more of your cookin’ endeavors!!
Yea!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Do you cover this dish with aluminum foil.?
Nope, no need to cover this with foil!
Do you use cooked chicken?
Nope, it goes in raw and cooks once combined!
