Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Chicken and Broccoli Casserole (adapated from CL)

3 quarts water
12 ounces broccoli florets
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated fat-free milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dash of nutmeg (Fresh grated is best)
1 cup fat-free mayonnaise (I made my own)
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream (I used reduced fat)
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed 30% reduced-sodium 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup, undiluted (I used Cream of Broccoli and Cheese)
1 cup (4 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400°.

Bring water to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, and cook 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Transfer broccoli to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add chicken to boiling water; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until done. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; cool slightly. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, and add chicken to bowl with broccoli.

Combine evaporated milk, flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a saucepan, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add mayonnaise, next 4 ingredients (through soup), and 1/2 cup cheese, stirring until well combined. Add mayonnaise mixture to broccoli mixture; stir gently until combined.

Spoon mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 400° for 50 minutes or until mixture bubbles at the edges and cheese begins to brown. Remove from oven; let cool on a wire rack 5 minutes.

That looks great, I might have to make that saturday night when our neice is here(7yrs old). I cant stand all the fat free products that CL uses. They are just so vile.

I made this last night and it was really good. My one suggestion is to serve it over brown rice (we did). It would have been too saucey without the rice. I also topped it with cheddar cheese instead of parmesan (still kept the parmesan in the sauce). It was quite good.

Thanks for another great recipe! I will have to see what to try next.

Randi - I have not tried it, but will look for it!

Tanya - Great idea to serve over rice! I'll note the cheese change since it turned out well on my paper copy!
