Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Broccoli Bake

This one is so delicious! Jackson ate it up because he loves broccoli. I don't know how much chicken costs where you live so I left the price of it out but all together the other ingredients cost $6.30! And that is in DE!

1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 cup milk
Dash ground pepper
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli cuts, cooked and drained
1 can (2.8 ounces) French fried onions (like the ones you put on green bean casserole)

Directions:

1. Stir the cooked chicken, soup, milk, pepper, broccoli and 2/3 of the onions into a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Cover

2. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until hot. Stir mixture.

3. Sprinkle the remaining onions over the mixture.

4. Bake for 5 minutes more until the onions are golden. Makes 4-5 servings (only feeds Dave, Jackson, & I but we eat big portions;)


From my calculations the casserole has 1140 calories. Which is 285 calories per serving in my house because it makes 4 servings:)

Tip: Don't go cheap on the broccoli cuts or you will end up with all stems. I usually buy the walmart brand but I tried the better brand and I think that is why I loved this casserole SO much. I bought the kind that you have to add water and put in the microwave, not the steam bags. The broccoli tasted so much better and wasn't soggy, it was perfectly cooked and a little crisp:)

Hope you all love it as much as we do! Cheap, fast, and easy!

  2. I am so hungry to eat this right now! I don't have all I need to make it but oh, how hungry I am for it!
    You know your mommy, I'm still trying to work my way into the modern way of going and getting what you want instead of waiting until "shopping day!" Living in the country shouldn't stop me from running to town when I want to! I remember your Grandma Reba telling us she'd bring something to us when there was some passing! I thought that was so funny and now I do stuff like that all the time! :) I wait until I'm going for another reason! I may be blogging right now- working myself up to go get these groceries! I'll tell you what I did later!
    Love 4ever, mommy xo You made this sound sooo good! I'm sure it is and I will be eating it soon! ;)
