Nannys Chicken Casserole Recipes

DIVINE CHICKEN DIVAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and butter a shallow 3-quart casserole dish. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and almost tender (you still want it to have a little bite; it will cook more in the oven). Drain; cool under cold running water and pat very dry. Set aside.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the sage and let sizzle a minute, then add the flour. Cook the roux (or else it will taste like raw flour), whisking, for 2 to 3 minutes, without letting it brown. Pour in the sherry (or broth) and cook to reduce it away, about 1 minute.
• Whisk in 1 cup broth, the milk, heavy cream and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally to get out any lumps, until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the scallions and gruyere until the cheese is melted, then remove the sauce from the heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the sauce, broccoli, chicken and almonds until thoroughly coated. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave, then toss with the parmesan and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the casserole. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 35 minutes.

NANNY'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Put 2 glugs of olive oil in the IP, set to saute. Allow to heat and add a few chicken pieces at a time to brown slightly. Remove to a side dish/bowl. Shut off IP
• 2. Add chicken broth and scrape the fonds off the bottom. Add in chicken pieces (big ones on the bottom). Cover with enough water to cover the chicken. Add spices/herbs and stir.
• 3. Set IP for 30 minutes pressure. Natural release, remove chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Allow to cool enough to debone.
• 4. Taste the broth in the IP after removing chicken. Add more spices/herbs if you need to (you won't). Add 1 stick of butter to the broth and enough water to make a good cooking broth for the dumplings to cook.
• 5. See the recipe for Nanny's Dumplings to complete this dish. I cook the dumplings in the broth FIRST....then add in the cooked chicken after. We like it more soupy.....my mother always served this over mashed potatoes. Nanny's Dumplings: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/nannys-dumplings.html
