Broccoli and Chicken Casserole

15 Mins
6 Servings

Ingredients

1 package Grilled & Ready® Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast

2 cups broccoli florets, fresh

5 cups French bread cubes

1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided

2 cups skim milk

1 teaspoon dry mustard

4 eggs

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Stratas are a type of casserole, similar to a quiche or frittata. For this meal, layer French bread, cheese, spices, and Grilled & Ready® Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast to create an aromatic pleasure, sure to please the family.

Directions

1. Cook broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with clean paper towels; set aside.

2. Layer half of the bread cubes in a greased 2-quart baking dish. Top with 1 cup of the cheese, Grilled & Ready® Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast, and broccoli. Top with the remaining bread cubes.

3. In a medium bowl whisk together milk, eggs, dry mustard, and pepper. Pour evenly over bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

4. Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake, uncovered, about 1-1/4 hours or until browned and the center is nearly set (there may still be some liquid egg in very center of dish). Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand for 20 minutes before serving (egg mixture will continue to set during standing).
