Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) chicken
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 3 cups broccoli florets (Approximately 1 medium head of broccoli)
For the cheese sauce
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1-2 cups milk
- 3 cups cheese grated
- 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese grated
For the topping
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks then add to a bowl.
- Drizzle over a few teaspoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken in batches and sear until golden brown on all sides.
- The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked here as it will continue cooking in the oven. Remove and set aside.
- Add the broccoli to the same pan, add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Allow to steam for 3 minutes then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan you cooked the chicken and broccoli, melt the butter.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute then slowly whisk in the milk. Allow the sauce to simmer, whisking regularly, until the sauce is thick and smooth (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from the heat then stir in the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
- Add the chicken to a casserole dish and top with the broccoli.
- Pour over the cheese sauce.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, a tablespoon of olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Scatter the crumbs over the cheese sauce.
- Place the casserole in the oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, top with chopped parsley and serve.
