Broccoli & Chicken Cheese Strata
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 1 hour
YIELD: 8 servings.
On our dairy farm, chores often delay dinner. That's when this strata comes in handy. I'll prepare it beforehand and later pop it in the oven for a quick and easy meal. —Margery Moore, Richfield Springs, New York
