Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cook the broccoli in the microwave. Drain any excess liquid.
  3. To a large skillet, add 3/4 Tbsp of olive oil and set to medium heat. Add the hashbrowns and saute for 3-4 minutes or until cooked to liking (this gives them a better flavor) then transfer to a bowl or plate to set aside.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean and add remaining 3/4 Tbsp of olive oil and set to medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until onions are translucent and tender.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the onions. Then add the milk and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat.
  6. In a very large bowl, add the yogurt, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Then add the hashbrowns, onion mixture, broccoli, and chicken. Stir until everything is mixed together well, then add it to the prepared dish and sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until it becomes bubbly around the edges.
  7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes then enjoy!
