Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1-1/2 lbs broccoli florets ((3 large heads) chopped)
olive oil spray
24 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts ((from 3))
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp butter
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
2 tbsp shallots (minced (onions would work too))
4 tbsp flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup fat free milk
2 oz dry sherry (white wine would work)
6 oz reduced-fat Swiss cheese (shredded or chopped fine)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch 3 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
  • Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
  • Pound the thicker end of the chicken breast to make it even on both sides. Heat a grill pan over medium-low heat, spray with oil and cook the chicken until browned, and just about cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.
  • Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a cutting board. When cooled, slice chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and oil until melted and then add garlic and shallots.
  • Sprinkle the flour and whisk until smooth. Stir in broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, milk and sherry and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in half of the Swiss cheese.
  • Arrange the broccoli in a casserole dish and pour half of the sauce over the broccoli and mix to coat.
  • Arrange the chicken on top and cover with remaining sauce.
  • Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan and top with breadcrumbs.
  • Spritz a little oil on top. Bake 30 minutes, until hot and golden.
