BISCUIT TOPPED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

Biscuit Topped Chicken and Broccoli Casserole image

This is a result of a frig, freezer, and pantry treasure hunt. I like to cook chicken tenderloins ahead and freeze them so they are ready whenever I want to throw a casserole together. The tenders were joined by some broccoli and onions.The sauce used cream of chicken soup as a base and included some sharp cheddar and a dash of Tabasco Sauce. Refrigerated biscuits created a puffy crust. A hearty casserole without a trip to the store!

Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenderloins, Cooked and chopped bite size
3 cups fresh broccoli, Chopped in bite size florets
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons Wondra Flour
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, Grated and divided
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, More to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion begins to soften. Add the flour and stir constantly to keep the mixture smooth. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the milk slowly to the pan, stirring to prevent lumps.Stir in the soup, continuing to stir until it is blended into the milk. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer.Cook about 5 minutes stirring frequently until the sauce is thickened.
Add one cup of the cheddar cheese and stir until it melts. Add the broccoli, Tabasco, and Worcestershire Sauce to the pan and simmer for 1 minute more.
Spray a 2-3 quart baking dish with non-stick spray. Put the chicken pieces in the casserole and add the cheese and broccoli mixture. Stir to combine.Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and top the casserole with the biscuits, cutting the biscuits to cover the top if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the biscuits and return to the oven. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until the biscuits are well browned and the cheese is melted.
Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
