The Hunt For Red Meat: A Veggie Chicken Casserole Recipe

Broccoli is a vegetable I can never seem to cook in the house, at least not without much protest. Oh sure, I sometimes ground it up and mix it in with some minced meat, making it into pork rolls or meat balls, but serving it as it is in all it's green glory just won't take.

I read countless times that putting some cheese on it does make it more palatable. This veggie, that's high in Vitamin C and dietary fiber. It also has anti carcinogenic properties, and many other nutrients that are so good for the body.

Here's a recipe that I managed to put together that also adds protein and calcium to the mix:

Ingredients:

• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 200 grams sliced mushrooms

• 100 grams chicken breast, cubed
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp garlic, macerated and chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 c water (or less)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced

Preparation:

1. İn a wok or pan, heat up the olive oil. Saute the onions and garlic.
