Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 bunch broccoli (1 1/2 pounds), cut into florets (about 5 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons melted
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk, room temperature
9 ounces shredded medium-sharp cheddar (3 cups)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Cooked egg noodles or steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large straight-sided skillet, simmer 1/2 cup water over medium-high heat, then add broccoli and a pinch of salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to a large bowl; set aside. Wipe out skillet.
  • Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken; set aside.
  • 3. In same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter, then add onion and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Slowly add milk, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 9 minutes. Add 2 cups cheese, Dijon, Worcestershire, cayenne, and sour cream; stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add cheese sauce to bowl with broccoli, followed by chicken and accumulated juices; toss to combine. Transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons melted butter, panko, and remaining 1 cup cheese. Sprinkle over broccoli-and-chicken mixture. Bake until bubbly and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes, then serve over noodles or rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
Kosher salt
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1- to 2-inch florets, tender stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons dry sherry (or chicken broth)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
1 bunch scallions, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere cheese (about 6 ounces)
1 cooked 3 1/2-pound chicken, meat removed and cut into chunks, skin and bones discarded (3 to 3 1/2 cups meat)
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and butter a shallow 3-quart casserole dish. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and almost tender (you still want it to have a little bite; it will cook more in the oven). Drain; cool under cold running water and pat very dry. Set aside.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the sage and let sizzle a minute, then add the flour. Cook the roux (or else it will taste like raw flour), whisking, for 2 to 3 minutes, without letting it brown. Pour in the sherry (or broth) and cook to reduce it away, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in 1 cup broth, the milk, heavy cream and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally to get out any lumps, until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the scallions and gruyere until the cheese is melted, then remove the sauce from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the sauce, broccoli, chicken and almonds until thoroughly coated. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave, then toss with the parmesan and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the casserole. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 35 minutes.
