This evening was the final incarnation of Blair Cooks for the Family of this week. I have to say, it was definitely a success! As the title of this post would indicate, I made cheesy broccoli chicken yummyness and served it over brown rice. Verra verra good, and pretty dang healthy too. Lots of yummy chicken and broccoli and brown rice nutrients! Food is the absolute best (in my most humble opinion) when it hits all three points on the awesome food triangle - it tastes good; it looks good; it's good for your body!
Another delectable Picky Palate recipe: http://picky-palate.com/2007/12/17/creamy-crockpot-chicken-and-broccoli/
Taste: 3
Feeds: at least 8
As I said, this was quite tasty. I ended up having to transfer it to a pot on the stove instead of the crock pot when I mixed in the broccoli at the end (our crock pot was just too small!) but really the effect was the same. The recipe given makes LOTS, definitely at least 8 servings.
Suggestions / Changes
I found this to be a little bit salty. Unless you use reduced sodium chicken broth, I would suggest leaving out the extra added salt. Also it is important to know your crock pot. I opted for the three hours on high directions and after four hours my chicken was cooked through but not to the point that it shredded easily per the instructions. Next time I will also add a bit more cajun seasoning and garlic powder.
