The mushroom sauce in this casserole provides a fantastic source of fiber called edible mushroom polysaccharides (EMPs). EMPs offer many benefits, such as support for the immune system and gut health. Research even shows that EMPs serve as fuel for beneficial gut bacteria, helping to support a balanced microbiome!

Step by Step

Let's cook

COOKING THE CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI: 

  1. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket. 
  2. Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 385°F, then tap Start/Pause. 
  3. Season the broccoli florets and chicken breast separately with olive oil spray and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  
  4. Place the chicken breast onto the preheated crisper plate. 
  5. Select the Air Fry function at 385°F, adjust time to 20 minutes, then tap Start/Pause. Flip chicken breast over halfway through cooking. 
  6. Add the broccoli florets around the chicken when 5 minutes of cooking remains. 
  7. Remove the chicken and broccoli when fully cooked and golden brown. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before dicing into pieces. Wipe the air fryer basket clean. 

MAKING THE SAUCE: 

  1. Place a medium saucepan on the stove on medium-high heat. Add the butter, then once melted add the mushrooms.  
  2. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are starting to brown. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper, then cook for 5 more minutes, or until golden.                                         
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until combined. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw floury taste. Slowly add the chicken stock and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Add the milk and Dijon mustard and whisk until combined.  
  4. Bring mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat and stir in the mozzarella cheese. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
