Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Casserole

August 23, 2014 by Maureen 51 Comments

Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Casserole
We love roast chicken and we have it every couple of weeks.  We only eat a small portion on roasting day and then look for ways to use the leftover chicken.  I debone it right away so I can make stock from the carcass so there’s always some noodley chicken soup.

I’ve mixed some chicken with BBQ sauce and stuffed a baked potato and I’ve made heaps of chicken pies but yesterday I wanted something different.  I’d just been to the veggie store and had some lovely broccoli and wonderful mushrooms and my casserole was born.

Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Casserole

Leftover nights are always pretty quick – mostly just assembly and last night was easy peasy.  The chicken was chopped and stored in a plastic bag in the fridge and I precooked the broccoli for about 5 minutes.  Slicing the mushrooms and quickly sauteing them didn’t take long at all.

Normally, I would make everything by hand but I was tired and needed an easy meal.  Cream of mushroom soup was the answer.  I put the cooked broccoli on the bottom of a casserole, topped it with the mushrooms and chicken and dotted it with little hunks of cream cheese.  Then I poured a mixture of cream of mushroom soup and milk over it all and grated some cheddar cheese.  I topped that with bread crumbs and dotted that with some butter.

In the oven at 200C/400F and it only took about 20 minutes.

It was delicious.  I served it with a simple salad and John ate two helpings.

    What a great way to use cooked chicken! Or turkey, if you have that on hand (and I actually do). I don’t make a lot of casseroles and don’t know why not — I always enjoy them when I do. A lot of classic flavors in this dish — thanks.

    What great comfort food, Maureen. This is a great way to use up leftover chicken – shame we never have any leftovers around here! I love how this was so quick and easy to put together and the golden crust on the top looks wonderful xx

    I love this recipe, looks delicious Maureen! Casseroles make great comfort foods. My wife makes several different variations of this recipe. Our kids like it when she makes it and adds rice!

    Sounds fantastic, Maureen, really delicious! One of my favourite curries (one I’ve been making for 40 years, no less, is made with a BBQ chicken and a can of cream of chicken soup). A lovely recipe, bookmarking for busy nights xo

    I never get tired of chicken. In fact, I usually wish I had some more left over cause I get inspired for a new dish just as I’m finishing devouring the one currently on my plate. Which is why, even though I’m cooking for one, I buy a 12 pound turkey when it’s on sale for 99 cents a pound … all that lovely meat to play with. 🙂

    I’m doing a spinach ‘rollatini’ or roll up on Sunday with a few chicken cutlets that I pounded and assembled today. I would have made it today but I had to finish off the freshly made spinach pasta dish I made yesterday.

    For some reason my earlier comment didn’t show up so I’ll try again.

    Anyway, I wanted to say that I think this is another great way to use up chicken. You can never have enough ideas, in my opinion, though I DO love just eating the roast chicken straight. That’s why, even though I only cook for one person, I buy the 12 pound turkeys when they go on sale for 99 cents … all that lovely meat to play with.

    I’m making chicken tomorrow too. A spinach and ricotta chicken breast roll up to use up the leftover spinach from making spinach pasta.

    We roasted a flat chicken last night too and I’m planning on some creative uses for the left overs too. I love chicken carcass soup, it’s so delicious and it’s free! The casserole looks like something JT would love, I have broccoli on hand too!

    I have some left over chicken in the frig right now from a Costco rotisserie chicken. For $4.99 that is a good buy and a fast dinner/lunch but with just the two of us it is always enough for several meals (or the freezer). This would be an excellent way to get in a fast dinner with some of it! That is a great recipe creation, thanks 🙂

    Roast chicken is a favorite of mine, I may not eat much of the meat the first day, but you can bet I’ll feast on the crisp skin. The leftovers make the best, quick meals, so I often roast two at a time. Your chicken broccoli casserole looks delicious and comforting. 🙂

    Dear Maureen,

    Your casserole looks delicious with that golden brown crust.

    We normally eat the two chicken Marylands and wings and hand pull the breast meat and mix it with kewpie mayo, black pepper and roasting juices for chicken sandwiches with toasted sourdough the next day. Soooo good!!

    casseroles are a mom’s best friend. I grew up eating them but my husband obviously had a bad experience at one point so when I make casseroles (and I always do) I have to call them “bakes”. he never knows the difference! LOL! This one looks AMAZING
