Today's 'my sis is hungry' review is for chicken broccoli casserole, here's what she has to say in her own words - recipe and my notes to follow:
So my sister was on a roll last week when Dave was gone and I was the lucky recipient of meals. As she handed me this one she made a comment about me not needing to review it as it was “nothing”. She said she was sure it would be fine but not exciting enough to review. I gotta say she was completely wrong. I LOVED this. I loved it so much that I had it for dinner twice and then for breakfast a third day. (yes she made a lot..)
I have no idea what was in it but the flavor was great. it was slightly creamy, cheesy, and like a thick soup. It was REALLY delish.
As a side note she asked me what I served it over top of and my answer is nothing. I ate it plain. Again- like very thick soup. LOVE. Can’t wait to see the recipe for this one so I can see if its in my wheelhouse to make- as I definitely would.

Jill here - she's right, I did think this seemed like a not-exciting dinner, it does taste good I just thought it was a little boring - it's pretty much chopped chicken and broccoli in a milk gravy. But then she raved so I figured what do I know hahahha. The recipe above is how it's written (recipe found here) so I did a little converting (ok, ok, Mr. Google did some converting) and will share that info so you don't have to figure it out; I also skipped whatever a bain-marie is (once again, I googled it - basically it's a double boiler) and just melted the butter in a saucepan on the stove. I used more milk then the recipe calls for, it was very thick with only 1 cup; and I added a little grated parmesan, cuz why not?
- 1 lb. broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb cooked chicken, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 T. green pepper, chopped (I don't like green pepper so I substituted orange)
- 2 T. butter
- 2 T. flour
- pinch salt and pepper
- 1 cup milk (plus more to get the right consistency)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper, cook for a couple minutes until the onion is translucent; stir in the flour and cook for a couple minutes. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and broccoli, stir to combine.
Put the mixture in a greased casserole dish, sprinkle with cheeses. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
