Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
Chicken and broccoli casserole is one of my families favorites for dinner. This dish is a little more expensive, but still under $10.00. Not a bad price to feed a family of six, or a family of four...with leftovers. Just add a tossed salad and maybe some cheesy garlic bread to round out your chicken and broccoli casserole, you have an inexpensive meal fit for the hungriest of appetites!
CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
1 1/2 pounds of chicken (any cut)
8 ounces spaghetti
16 ounce package of frozen broccoli flowerettes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 small jar/can diced pimento
1 small onion (chopped)
1/2 cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese
salt to taste
Boil the chicken. Reserve the broth. Remove the bones and skin from the chicken pieces and discard. Place the chicken into the bottom of a large casserole dish. Evenly place the frozen broccoli on top of the chicken. Set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, with these exceptions. Use the chicken broth adding just enough water to make the amount of liquid stated on the package directions.
Drain the spaghetti and pour on top of the chicken and broccoli in the casserole dish. Set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, add the milk, cream cheese, chopped onion and diced pimento. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, to dissolve the cream cheese. Reduce heat and add 1 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, stirring continually, until cheese melts.
Pour the cheese sauce over the top of the chicken, broccoli and spaghetti in the casserole dish and cover.
Place the chicken and broccoli casserole into a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Add the remaining cheese to the top of the chicken and broccoli casserole. Return to the oven, uncovered and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
Serve the chicken and broccoli casserole while still hot. Enjoy!
