Much to the dismay of many a husband, including my own, it seems that the casserole has gone out of fashion. These former potluck darlings are now mumbled in the shadows or rebranded with more modern names, kind of like this “bake.” Call it a bake or call it a casserole, this one-dish meal is easy to make, especially if you have some Everyday Chicken Breasts and cooked quinoa in the fridge. Packed with protein and easy to assemble, the quantities on this recipe are more of a guideline. BWe often up the broccoli, because in our house, broccoli = yum!
