I chose to make a copycat version of the Cracker Barrel chicken and broccoli casserole. Once very recently, I was going to order some for takeout and found it had disappeared.
Disappointed, but still wanting a comforting casserole with the crunchy topping, I set out to make it myself.
I served this casserole over rice as it seemed appropriate. With a salad on the side and some dinner rolls, this made a nice rounded out meal.

My husband will love this! I’ll eat it without the rice to watch my carbs. It sounds wonderful either way.
Grated some cauliflower and saute it just a little bit where its still firm but not gone mushy. As long as having both brox and cauli don’t become too many cruciferous veggies for you at once.
That’s looks so delicious! We make a broccoli cheddar casserole. I never thought to add chicken and make it the main dish instead of the side. Yum!
