Preparation

What You Need

1 bunch broccoli
3 cups (750 ml) thickly sliced cooked chicken
1 Pinch paprika
2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
2 cups (500 ml) Milk
3/4 cup (180 ml) grated Mozzarella or
Canadian Cheddar cheese
3 tbsp (45 ml) freshly grated Canadian Parmesan cheese
Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Peel broccoli stems and quarter lengthwise. Cut broccoli into 3-inch (8 cm) pieces. In large saucepan of boiling water, cook broccoli for 2 to 3 min or until tender-crisp; drain well. Place in 13 x 9 inch (33 x 23 cm) baking dish. Arrange chicken over top.

In saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat; stir in flour until smooth. Whisk in Milk; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened. Stir in mozzarella cheese and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with pepper.

Pour over chicken and spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp (30 mL) Parmesan cheese and paprika. Bake, covered for 25 min. Uncover and bake for 5 min longer or until hot and bubbling.


Tips

For 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) cooked chicken: cook 1 1/2 lb (750 g) bone-in chicken thighs in microwave, covered, on High power for 10 to 12 min. Discard skin and bones; cut meat into strips.

Healthy Eating Tip: Turkey parts, which are extra lean, are now available in supermarkets and can be a nice change from chicken.
