So what is it about this Chicken and Broccoli Stratas topping thats just made of plain old sandwich bread?

Well, let me tell you its drizzled with a creamy bechamel sauce then sprinkled with panko and parmesan.

So as you probably guessed, this is just something I made up.

Actually, this was originally intended to be a pasta bake which never happened.

A great way to use up leftover bread (in fact, the staler the better).

I made this bake using chicken breast.

I am very selective about cooking with chicken breast.

It has virtually no fat so unless cooked with caution, it is horribly dry.

Though you could use any boneless chicken cut you want.

Its surprising how much broccoli is in this.

Theres 4 packed cups of florets (cut small) which is one largish broccoli.

Love to hear if you try it!
