Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve with a mixed green salad for added color and texture, and get an extra serving of vegetables.

Substitute

Substitute 1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen broccoli florets for fresh broccoli.

Keeping It Safe

The danger zone for holding food is between 40°F and 140°F. Once food is cooked to proper doneness and temperature, it can be kept hot at 140°F or above. Do not let food stand at room temperature longer than 2 hours. If the room temperature is above 90°F, do not let food stand longer than 1 hour. Make sure the refrigerator temperature is set at 40°F or lower. Reheat food to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure food safety.

The best thing about this recipe is it's fast and easy. Make sure you season your chicken before cooking it otherwise it will be bland. I added 2 oz. more cheese and a little bit of bouillon powder to the chicken broth. I also used frozen broccoli florets that I thawed out. Which required very little chopping. Next time I want to try adding a can of cream of mushroom soup and see how well that works. This is similar to another recipe I've made for years "Broccoli and Chicken Casserole", but it's a bit more involved and of course more tasty. But when you need a fast and somewhat tasty meal this one is it.

The whole family loved it, I have 2 girls and 1 is very picky, between my daughters and husband the whole thing was gone that night! This was so quick! I work full time & work 10 hour shifts, so it is very nice to be able to make something so quick & easy. Thanks Kraft

I use to make this all the time before having my kids. My husband and his best friends use to allow me to get a plate of food and then they would fight for the rest. We all really liked it and tonight my kids will try it for the first time, I'm sure they will love it like the rest of us.

This was extremely tasty and sooo easy to make, not to mention it was done in no time. There were no leftovers! I will definitely be making this again.

I chopped the chicken up into bite size pieces and seasoned them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and a little poultry seasoning. I also didn't add the cheese. It was excellent and my 4 years old son and myboyfriend(who doesn't like mushrooms) both devoured it. I plan oon adding this one to my regular recipes. Very fast and easy to make. I loved it!!! :D

I thought it was simple and great. My 6 year old did all of the prep work with me. He is such a picky eater and he enjoyed it the cooking and eating. I did add a can of cream of chicken to it since I decided to bake it. This will definitely be in my rotation of weekly meals.
