Question: What is your opinion of this chicken casserole recipe!?
Chicken and broccoli casserole

Prep time 30 minutes
Cook time 90 minutes
Serves 4-6

1 3-4 lb whole cut up chicken
2 bay leaves
1 head of broccoli cut up!. Not too small three-bite size maybe!.
3 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup, don’t dilute
1 ? + 1 cups of seasoned croutons!. I find small square ones work the best!.
1 cup grated mozzarella or swiss cheese
? cup dry white wine or Marsala if you prefer
2 eggs
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
? tsp garlic powder
1/3 tsp pepper
1/3 tsp basil

First par boil the chicken with the bay leaves for 40 minutes!.

While the chicken is cooking, combine all other ingredients except broccoli and 1 cup of the total 2 ? cups croutons in a 9x13 baking dish mixing well!. Once you have mixed well, add the broccoli distributing evenly!. Save the 1 cup croutons for later!.

Preheat the oven to 350F

Once the chicken is done, remove from heat and when cool enough to handle, de-bone the chicken into three-bite size pieces and add to the casserole also distributing evenly!. Discard the bay leaves!. Make sure the chicken and broccoli are completely covered in the sauce!.

Hint: don’t pitch that liquid, instead strain it put into a plastic container freeze and save it for recipes or soups calling for chicken stock!.

Hint: you could put the chicken in the casserole bone in to save time but I find this dish is much better if you can just spoon it on your plate and dig in without those pesky bones!.

Bake the casserole covered with foil on the middle rack for 40 minutes!. Uncover and top with the remaining croutons and cook uncovered for another 10 minutes!.

Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes and serve!.

This is pretty much an all-in-one meal so no need for sides, although if you want another side I would recommend a garden salad!. A nice dry white wine goes wonderfully as well!.

Bon Appetite!
