BROCCOLI CASSEROLE WITH CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add broccoli, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, condensed cream of mushroom soup, beaten eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix together. Then, transfer this mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Top with the remaining ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese and crushed crackers. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13 casserole dish with healthy fat of choice and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, add a steamer basket, broccoli and enough water to steam the broccoli {usually about 1/2 cup to 1 cup water depending on the size of your pan}. Cover with a lid, bring water to a boil and steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully remove the steamer basket with broccoli. Set aside.
• While the broccoli is steaming, add healthy fat of choice to a saucepan and turn the stovetop to medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and carrots, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, add cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, onion-carrot mixture, yogurt, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, onion flakes, dill, sea salt, thyme, garlic powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, and optional cooked rice. Stir until fully combined and evenly distributed. Pour mixture into greased casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the top of the casserole. Bake at 375 degrees F for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesy top is lightly golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
