Chicken Broccoli Casserole
My mom used to make this casserole for my family on a regular basis. I don’t know where she got the recipe from, but man I’m so glad she passed it down to me! Anytime we go to a wedding, I like to give my favorite recipes to the bride, and this is one of them. Also, if you need to take dinner to a family, this is an amazing casserole to take, along with a salad and some french bread.
Unlike most casseroles, this does not have any rice in it. It really highlights the chicken and broccoli so well. When I went gluten-free 5 years ago, I was discouraged that I wouldn’t be able to make this dish anymore, but I was able to figure it all out and still enjoy it!
Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup
Also, I was able to find gluten-free fried onions at Aldi’s. I believe I have also seen them at Walmart. If you do not want to eat the fried onions, you could always caramelize some onions and add those into the casserole. I did this when I wasn’t eating any grains and it still worked out to be very tasty.
Many times, I will buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco, but when I have more time, I like to roast some split chicken breasts to make my own shredded chicken. Either will do and be absolutely delicious!
