Ingredients
1 Tbsp bacon fat
1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 lb fresh broccoli florets, separated (or 20 oz. frozen broccoli florets)
- Sauce
2 Tbsp butter
1/3 c. white onion
8 oz. white button mushrooms
1/2 c. white wine
3/4 c. heavy cream
3/4 c. chicken broth
2 oz. cream cheese
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c. shredded cheddar
1/3 c. mayo
1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Topping
1/2 c. grated parmesan
3/4 c. crushed pork rinds
Directions
- In a food processor, pulse the onions and mushrooms until finely chopped. Set aside.
- Brown chicken thighs in bacon fat until cooked throughly, set aside. Roughly chop when cool.
- While chicken is browning, steam the broccoli in the microwave until cooked through and drain well. (You can also use a frozen steam-in-bag of broccoli.)
- Add the butter to the remaining fat in the pan, and saute the onion and mushroom mixture over medium heat until cooked thoroughly, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the white wine, heavy cream, chicken broth and cream cheese to the pan and reduce over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to briefly cool.
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Arrange broccoli in the dish, add the roughly chopped chicken on top.
- In a medium bowl, add the cooled sauce mixture, shredded cheddar, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix well. Pour over chicken and broccoli. Smooth with spatula.
- Cook at 350˚F for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the shredded parmesan and pork rinds. Return to oven and brown the top for 5-8 minutes.

Wes,
What could I use in place of the white wine? My hubby and I do not drink.

Hi, Deb! Just substitute it with more chicken broth and a little squeeze of lemon for the acidity. Enjoy!
