Hi everyone:
I'll be re-posting some recipes that may interest you.
I've been asking friends on my group Facebook page for their favorite recipes and have actually been trying them for a change. You are welcome to join. It's called We like to bake and cook group. Many different recipes that are very family friendly.
I've been doing my blog for 7 years and thought it might be a nice change now and again. This particular recipe is how I made it. My friend just suggested the ingredients. Enjoy! It's delicious...
A quick note: You can easily substitute canned cream of chicken soup in this recipe. I try to avoid any canned cream soups. Too many additives for me but those who don't have the time it's an option.
2+ cups cauliflower and broccoli florets steamed
2 boneless chicken breasts sautéed in olive oil (cut into small slices)
Butter
Salt and pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup orzo
1/2 cup shredded Sharp cheese (I used white cheddar)
Steam broccoli and or cauliflower. Drain and allow to cool. I used both in this recipe.
Cook orzo a' dente in salted water. Rinse and drain.
In a small pan place a little olive oil. Saute chicken until almost no pink in center. Remove from pan and cut into slices or small pieces. Set aside.
Butter a large size baking dish. Layer vegetables,chicken, cheese and orzo until baking dish is 3/4 full. Pour below cream sauce over and garnish with a little cheese if you want.
Bake 350° for 20 to 30 minutes uncovered.
The cream Sauce(I doubled recipe)
In a small sauce pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
Slowly stir in chicken broth, then milk. Whisk until it begins to thicken. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If sauce is too thick you can always add a little more of the chicken broth to thin.
