It’s been such a pleasure to be a sponsored partner with Wolf to help spread the word about their Reclaim the Kitchen initiative. I’ve truly loved swapping recipes and stories with all of you!

I’m particularly excited today because I have a delicious and simple cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe to share with you.

It’s a recipe that serves as a good reminder that dinner doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. In fact, sometimes it’s those quick and easy casseroles that have been passed down from your mother or grandmother that can help set the stage for some special bonding time in the kitchen.

Speaking of mothers and grandmothers, I recently spent some time in the kitchen with my mother and my daughter preparing this family favorite.

My mom is a hair stylist and this recipe came handwritten on an index card from one of her dearest customers. The original recipe didn’t include chicken and was more like a side dish, so to beef it up (err—poultry it up?) I added two cups of chopped rotisserie chicken.

See, I told you that reclaiming your kitchen could be easy!

Nothing is simpler than a casserole, but they do the trick in a tasty way and you’ll still feel like a rock star because you made it.

In my case, I made it with the help of my two favorite ladies in the world.

I love letting my children help me in the kitchen. Even very young children like my 3-year-old, Kara, can play a role.

Kara was in charge of stirring the casserole ingredients. I love knowing that these moments I spend with my kids preparing meals is helping them grow an appreciation not only for cooking but for the value of spending quiet, distraction-free time around the family table.

That’s right, I encourage you to turn off the television and put those cell phones away. This is your time with your family. This time means everything.

So, back to this cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe… we’ve established that it’s easy, but it’s also warm, creamy and delicious. It has a bit of a quichey texture! It’s a comfort food that my whole family enjoys and it’s also the perfect dish for those nights when you’re short on time.

This cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole is also one of those dishes that is perfect for a potluck!

When it comes to reclaiming your kitchen, I believe it comes down to confidence. Just remember that your family doesn’t expect you to be a master chef. Be the spark of inspiration for your entire family and take simple steps to Reclaim the Kitchen in your home; you can start with my easy cheesy chicken and brocolli casserole!
