Chicken-Broccoli au Gratin


The combination of chicken and broccoli is one of my favorites.  This semi-homemade recipe is courtesy of Pillsbury.  You can substitute the convenience foods to make a frugal version of the casserole.

Please note that this recipe is for two servings.





Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
    • 1 small onion, sliced (1/2 cup)
    • 1 box (10 oz) Green Giant™ frozen broccoli & zesty cheese sauce
    • 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
    • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
    • 1 can (4 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (4 rolls)

Directions 

Heat oven to 375°F. 

In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. 

Meanwhile, microwave broccoli with cheese sauce as directed on box. 

Spread 1/3 cup ricotta cheese in bottom of each of 2 ungreased 2-cup au gratin dishes or individual casseroles.* 

Top each evenly with chicken, mushroom mixture and broccoli with cheese sauce. 

Unroll dough; separate into 2 rectangles. Place 1 rectangle over top of each dish, tucking corners into dish as needed. 

Place dishes on cookie sheet; bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and edges are bubbly. 



Notes from Pillsbury:

*Recipe can be made in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish. Spread ricotta cheese in dish; top with chicken, mushroom mixture and broccoli with cheese sauce. Arrange dough rectangles over top. Bake as directed.
