Cream of chicken soup would make a nice substitute for the cheese sauceMy Mum gave me this recipe which was passed on to her (and adapted) by my sister, who got it from a friend of hers when she still lived in South Africa. So I have no idea where the recipe actually originates from. All I know is that it is dead easy to make, yet tastes like you went to a lot of effort to make it ! (In fact, I’m thinking of making it the next time we have visitors to the farm).
Chicken & Broccoli Bake
Oil
+- 6 assorted Chicken pieces
1 large Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
½ to 1 head of Broccoli, broken in to florets & blanched
1 x 250 ml pkt of Cheese sauce (or homemade equivalent - you can use my recipe here)
In a pan, brown the chicken pieces in the oil & then remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pan, & cook until golden. Now put the chicken pieces, onion and garlic into an oven proof dish and add the blanched broccoli florets and cheese sauce. Mix all together well and bake at 180’C/350’F/Gas Mark 4 uncovered for +- 30 minutes.
You could substitute the cheese sauce in this recipe for a tin of creamed soup. You could also top the mixture with grated cheese and brown under the grill before serving.
Serve with rice and a fresh garden salad (so that you won’t feel too guilty eating all that cheese !).
