Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli spears, thawed and drained
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup milk

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Ellen T. Shares her Recipe "When I don't feel well, I don't like fussing in the kitchen. This was such an easy recipe, I was up to preparing it even when I was very tired. It's also great for entertaining."
  • tip 2
    To make ahead: Cover baked casserole with aluminum foil. Freeze no longer than 2 months. About 1 hour before serving, heat oven to 350°. Bake in covered baking dish 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until hot.
  • tip 3
    A Note from Dr. Ghosh This recipe is a great source of many essential minerals. Lack of magnesium, one of the minerals here, can become a problem if malnutrition occurs, as it can during cisplatin chemotherapy. Magnesium deficiencies can lead to weakness, lethargy, nausea and vomiting.
