Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Smartphones are ah-mazing.  I happened to be at the grocery store and decided I wanted to make a healthy chicken dish with the extra chicken I had at home.  I busted out my new HTC Evo, typed in “chicken” in my recipe app… and this delicious but healthy recipe popped up!  My husband is picky about his vegetables, but one of his favorites is broccoli.  With only 5 ingredients (most of which I already had at home), it wasn’t a difficult decision to say YES to this recipe and whip it up for dinner.  Very minimal effort too!

Here’s my altered version of this quick and simple casserole dish…

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 1 package frozen broccoli, broken apart
• 1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup
• 3 TBSP reduced fat mayo
• 1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese

Directions: heat up a skillet and brown chicken breasts until cooked all the way through.  Remove from heat and cut into 1-inch pieces.  In a square casserole dish, mix the mayo and cream of mushroom soup.  Add the frozen broccoli and chicken and mix well.  Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
