I was a cook at an elementary school where we had to use certain foods. But at home I got to experiment! My husband was-and still is-a tolerant taste tester.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS BUNDLES



Cheesy Chicken and Asparagus Bundles image

I saw the asparagus in the produce section today and decided to come up with a recipe for dinner tonight. This is what I came up with - both DH and myslef loved it. Easy enough for any day, but "fancy" enough for a dinner party. I served these with fingerling potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary.

CHEESY CHICKEN ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Cheesy Chicken Asparagus Casserole image

This easy-to-make casserole was a hit at my house! I used leftovers for part of it, which is always a plus, and it all went together so well. As for the pasta, we had a mix of cooked bow ties, elbows and spirals and they worked great! My 16-month-old daughter loved it, and the leftovers reheated beautifully the next day. Hope you like it as much as we did!

A healthy chicken and asparagus casserole with a creamy cheese sauce. Your entire family will love this dish!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk (I used skim)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup uncooked freekeh or uncooked quinoa
1 pound asparagus, tough ends removed, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 bunch (8 to 10 ounces) spring carrots, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch coins
1/2 cup shredded cheese, any kind that melts well, such as Gouda, Fontina Gruyere, or cheddar (I used Gouda)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9×13-inch deep baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high in a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet. Add the chicken and cook until the edges are brown, but the center is still slightly pink. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the onion. Cook until beginning to brown and soften, about 3 minutes, then whisk in the flour. Cook until the flour is lightly brown, about 1 minute, then add the chicken broth. Increase heat to high, then continue whisking until the flour is smooth. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Cook and stir until the mixture bubbles and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, then stir in the reserved chicken, frekkeh or quinoa, asparagus, carrots and 1/2 cup melty cheese (Gouda, Fontina, etc.). Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake, covered, for 35 minutes, then uncover and stir the filling. Continue baking, uncovered, until the thefreekehis soft (or the quinoa is sprouted)and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 additional minutes. Some liquid may be bubbling at the top. Stir once more, then top with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Serve warm.
