Creamy Chicken Broccoli Casserole

 

So anything can taste good as long as you add cheese, right?
If you agree with me then you will love this recipe!

 

Yum Yum, Cheesy goodness!

On my journey to more diversity in the kitchen I tried out this Casserole Recipe and got rewarded the boyfriend stamp! What more do you need?

The recipe uses Ritz Cracker Crumbs but I used some fancy italian olive oil crackers that we got in a gift basket for Christmas. The result was so yum, I didn't even want dessert!

Creamy Chicken Broccoli Casserole Recipe:

(serves 3)

Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts 
1/2 bag frozen broccoli & cauliflower florets
250 grams cream cheese (I used the one with herbs & garlic)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Ritz cracker crumbs for topping
500g Farfalle Pasta

Directions:

Cook the chicken, then slice or break it into bite size pieces.  Cook broccoli in salted water.  Place the broccoli in a 9x13 greased casserole dish.  Heat the milk, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese over low heat, stirring till the mixture is smooth.  Pour 1 cup of sauce over the broccoli.  Now add the chicken into the pan and pour rest of sauce over it.  Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and Ritz cracker crumbs.

Bake at 180 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. (Note: watch the sauce while baking, it can get too hot and burn on top!) Meanwhile boil the Farfalle and serve hot and cheesy!
