Always looking for ways to use leftover Yardbird pieces!! Searched my pantry to throw this concoction together with great results.

The ingredients consists of: 3 cooked Apple Smoked Chicken Leg Quarters, diced Onions, diced Celery, Broccoli florets, Mushrooms, can of Cream of Mushroom with Roasted Garlic, can of Cream of Chicken, Fagundes Seasoning, 1 cup of Chicken broth, and Parsley Flakes.

Used a little Annie's Roasted Garlic EVOO and Crushed Garlic to Sauté the Onions, Celery and Broccoli florets on the Camp Chef Stove for 3 minutes to help in the casserole cooking process.

Mixed the ingredients and seasoned to taste with Fagundes Seasoning an Parsley Flakes. Yes, fresh Parsley and Mushrooms would enhance the Apple Smoked Chicken and Broccoli Casserole but in a pinch you can use what you find in your pantry and spice cabinet.

Topping Ingredients: Bread Crumbs, grated Mozzarella Cheese or any cheese you have on hand, a couple tablespoons of EVOO, and ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder.

Nice looking dish there Pete, were you able to pick up the smokiness in the chicken?

Yes I did Carter. It all comes down to how much smoke there was to begin with but I find that the smoke flavor always appears to improve the few days or after a brief period in the freezer.

For this casserole I was fortunate enough to have that extra zing factor that smoked chicken provides. The rest of the ingredients didn't overpower the chicken.
