Chicken Broccoli Bake recipe served at the University of Michigan dining halls. A student favorite for decades.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Steam broccoli for a few minutes, no more than 7. You don’t want to overcook it.
In a saucepan or skillet, sauté the diced chicken until done. Set aside.
In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt margarine and sauté onions until translucent. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
Combine water and bouillon. If using a bouillon cube, heat water slightly so that cube will dissolve. Add water and bouillon to saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick.
In a separate bowl combine the sour cream and whipping cream. Add some of the hot liquid to it to temper the cream mix. Add cream mixture to remaining hot liquid and blend thoroughly.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Gently simmer mixture for 5 minutes. Fold in the cooked chicken meat and the cooked broccoli.
Place mixture in a casserole dish. Top with combined bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 325-degree oven until the top is lightly browned and mixture is bubbly. Do not overbake, or else the mixture will separate.
Serve over rice.
