We might have officially farewelled Winter and welcomed Spring here in the southern hemisphere, but it’s still pretty cold and gloomy outside. And because I’m still cooking winter food, I thought I’d share my favourite comfort food recipe on the blog today. Because who doesn’t love an easy and delicious recipe to make on a weeknight? I know I welcome all the inspiration I can get! And actually, this meal works just as well in Summer or Autumn, so give it a go wherever you live!
Here goes:
- 4 chicken breasts or boneless thighs (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 500 g broccoli (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 tin cream of chicken soup
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup plain (unsweetened) yoghurt
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
-
Cook chicken with the stock and bay leaf on the stovetop until just cooked. Discard bay leaf, but reserve the stock.
-
Place cooked chicken pieces and broccoli into an ovenproof dish.
-
Mix the cream of chicken soup, remaining stock, mayonnaise, yoghurt, cheese, lemon juice and curry powder in a separate bowl. Pour mixture over the chicken and broccoli.
-
Mix the breadcrumbs into the melted butter and sprinkle over the chicken and broccoli dish.
-
Bake in the oven at 190ºC (375ºF) for 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked, broccoli is al dente and breadcrumbs are golden.
-
Serve with rice, potatoes or anything else you'd prefer, really!
I absolutely love this meal! It’s my ultimate comfort food and it’s especially good as leftovers for lunch the next day too.
