Crispy Chicken Broccoli Bake Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN & BROCCOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Rub the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter (or olive oil if you prefer)
• Sprinkle half the measurements of the spices all over the chicken breasts
• Place the chicken breasts side by side in the middle of a small baking dish
• In a small bowl, add the broccoli florets. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter (or olive oil) into the bowl as well
• Add the other half of the spices. Mix until the broccoli is coated well. Set broccoli aside for now
• Bake the chicken in the oven for 15 minutes, then (without removing the pan completely from oven) open oven doors and pour the broccoli mixture into the baking dish surrounding the chicken
• Return to bake for another 20 minutes
• Remove from oven and let chicken rest about 5-10 minutes before slicing

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Dust chicken with the baking soda and let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl (or glass jar with lid) combine the soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, Worcestershire, sugar, and sesame oil; whisk (or shake jar) to combine.
• In another small bowl (or jar) combine the chicken stock with 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch, set aside.
• Heat a large skillet, or wok, over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering.
• Add broccoli and stir fry until the florets start to brown, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
• Heat 2 more tablespoons oil and cook onion, on medium high heat, until they begin to brown and soften, about 5 minutes; add to broccoli.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Meanwhile, toss the meat with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
• Stir fry the garlic and ginger in the pan for 30 seconds; add in the chicken and stir fry until no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
• Return the broccoli and onion to the pan, add the soy sauce mixture and stir fry until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is hot.
• Stir in the cornstarch mixture until the sauce thickens; taste for salt and add only if needed (I didn't).

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, mustard, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Toss the broccoli, tomatoes, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the upper oven rack until the broccoli is tender and browned and the tomatoes burst, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the panko, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dip in the panko mixture to coat completely.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the bottom oven rack; bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve with the vegetables and rice. Photograph by Antonis Achilleos

CRISPY CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook vegetables- chop into small bite size pieces and then set aside.
• Clean and rinse chicken breasts; chop into small pieces and cook in a heated frying pan with the EVOO, salt and pepper, garlic and onion.
• In a blender, combine 1/2 of the bag of shredded cheese, mushroom soup once blended combine in a large mixing bowl with the veggies and the chicken once it is nearly cooked (if its not all the way done that's okay because you will be cooking it in the oven for 30 minutes and you don't want the chickent to be too tough)
• Add cooked rice last to your 9x11 pan- again if the rice is a bit under done it will be okay because you have to bake this once it is mixed together for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees- you don't want it to get mushy.
• In another small bowl combine hot melted butter and croutons until the croutons are basically reduced to buttery bread crumbs- I had to use a hard spoon to mash them down in order to get them to the right consistency. Add the remaining cheese to the buttery crushed croutons.
• Once you put the complete mixture in the 9x11 pan sprinkle the crouton cheese mix on top of the casserole and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
• Top should be golden brown and crispy.

CHEESY CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, stir, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Transfer rice to a casserole dish and mix with chicken and broccoli.
• Combine condensed soup, milk, bread crumbs, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl; mix until well combined. Add to the casserole dish along with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; mix to combine. Sprinkle remaining Cheddar over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
