Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Casserole

This cheesy casserole with fresh veggies and chunks of cooked chicken will bake up to a golden and become bubbly in about 30 minutes.

It is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Add hash browns and toast and dinner is complete.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 1.5 cups 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons Country Crock® Spread, divided
  • 2 cups cut-up cooked chicken breast

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons Country Crock® Spread in large nonstick skillet and saute broccoli and red bell pepper until crisp tender.

  • Combine remaining 1 tablespoon Spread and remaining 1/4 cup cheese in small cup. Sprinkle over top of casserole.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until mixture is bubbly around edges.

What better than a fast, warm and nutrtious meal after a busy day?

This casserole has everything you need to fulfill all the food groups.

And it is delicious to boot!

This Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Casserole is an ultimate scramble egg dish you bake and then serve all at once.

No more cold plates as you make 1-2 servings at a time.

Isn’t nice to be able to have the family all together at the table and have a lovely breakfast or lunch?

It is hard to get the family all in one spot at the same time.

Especially when the kids get older.

There is always some sort of meeting, sports practice or event to run to.

In my home, with two growing boys many times my husband and I had to split up to get them where they needed to be.

They both played hockey and sometimes when they were younger played back to back at the same rink.

I loved those days.

But they were hectic and stressful too.

I was manager for both teams. I also Secretary for the Association.

My husband helped coach both teams in those days.

We sold candy, had tournaments and raffles so we all were busy in our own ways.

Then my oldest went up to travel hockey and we went out of state.

So when we could all sit down and eat at the same time it was a real treat.

Since those stolen moments mostly occurred at the start of the day I started collecting nutritious breakfast foods.

This Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Casserole quickly soared to the top of my list.

It is pure comfort food created for the busy family.

Do you fall in that category?

If so you really enjoy this casserole.

Broccoli And Chicken Cheddar Cheese Casserole is a great fallback when you make breakfast in a jiffy. This cheesy casserole with fresh veggies and chunks of cooked chicken bakes up golden and bubbly in about 30 minutes.

    My idea of comfort food because I love broccoli. I’m sure the kids would disagree.

      I actually like broccoli. It is one of the veggies I really eat. (So picky since I like veggies raw.) but with the cheese here it is so delicious! Enjoy, Mary.
