WW Chicken Broccoli Casserole Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Cooking Chicken:
- Oven: Bake the chicken breasts at 350°F for 25 minutes.
- Air Fryer: Air-fry the chicken at 350°F for 12-14 minutes, until thoroughly cooked.
Steaming Vegetables:
- Steam the broccoli and mushrooms in a microwave steamer for 1 minute and 30 seconds. If you don’t have a steamer, place the vegetables in a bowl with 1-2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave.
Cauliflower Rice:
- Prepare the cauliflower rice according to package directions. For a firmer texture, add it directly to the baking dish while still frozen, breaking it up to spread evenly.
Layering the Casserole:
- Spread the cauliflower rice at the bottom of the baking dish, followed by the steamed broccoli and mushrooms.
Chicken Mixture:
- Dice the cooked chicken. In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, Greek yogurt, and ricotta cheese. Carefully fold in the diced chicken.
Baking:
- Pour the chicken mixture over the broccoli in the baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
Broiling and Serving:
- Turn the oven to broil, sprinkle Babybel Mini Light cheese rounds (grated or crumbled) on top, and broil for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and lightly brown.
- Serve warm, and if desired, add a pinch of coarse sea salt for extra flavor.
