How to Make Chicken And Cheddar Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup, deep, straight-sided baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 6 cups cubed bread (day-old is best), 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken or turkey, 2 cups chopped broccoli florets, and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Divide the bread mixture into thirds. Layer one-third of the bread mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Repeat layering with the chicken mixture, broccoli, and cheese. Repeat layers two more times, ending with a bread layer.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, ¼ cup chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard until well blended.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered strata.
  7. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Bake uncovered for 75 minutes, or until the strata is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
