This is a very rich version of a chicken casserole. It's great way to use leftovers and not have dinner TASTE like you're having leftovers! It's also a great party dish AND it's very flexible. You can substitute asparagus for the broccoli, turkey for the chicken, add a layer of sauted mushrooms or substitute the cream of chicken for cream of mushroom. My family is not BIG on casseroles, but they love this version of the traditional favorite. Ingredients:
8 ounces macaroni, any shape, cooked to al dente |
3 cups cooked chicken, cubed or shredded |
3 cups cooked broccoli, steamed |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/2 medium onion, diced fine |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup sour cream |
1 (8 ounce) can cream of chicken soup |
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder |
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated |
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9 x13 baking dish or casserole with cooking spray. Arrange cooked macaroni in an even layer over the bottom of the dish, add a layer of cooked chicken and follow with the steamed broccoli.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the butter and oil. Saute the onion til translucent, add the minced garlic and stir to incorporate and remove from heat.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the sour cream, soup and curry powder til well blended. Add the onion/garlic mixture, stir to incorporate. Spoon this mixture evenly over the top of the mac/chicken/broccoli casserole. Spread the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Sprinkle liberally with paprika. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
