Smoked Chicken and Asparagus Strata
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup  finely chopped onion (1 medium)
  • 1/3 cup  finely chopped red sweet pepper
  • 2 tablespoons  butter
  • 8 ounces  asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup  chicken broth
  • 4 cups  smoked chicken or turkey, cut into bite-size cubes
  • 3/4 cup  light mayonnaise
  • 1 1/4 cups  milk
  • 1 1/4 cups  chicken broth
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons  snipped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons  country Dijon-style mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • 8 cups  cubed garlic-herb focaccia (1-inch cubes)
  • 6 ounces  dill Havarti cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
Directions

1. In a large skillet cook onion and sweet pepper in hot butter over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add asparagus and the 1/4 cup chicken broth. Cover and simmer about 3 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl; let cool slightly.

2. Add smoked chicken and mayonnaise to the vegetable mixture; mix well. In another bowl whisk together milk, the 1 1/4 cups chicken broth, the eggs, chives, mustard, salt, and black pepper.

3. Lightly grease a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Spread half of the focaccia cubes in the prepared dish; top evenly with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining focaccia cubes evenly over the chicken mixture. Carefully pour egg mixture over all. Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Before baking, let strata stand for 15 minutes at room temperature. Uncover; bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until set and light brown. Sprinkle with Havarti cheese; bake about 10 minutes more or until cheese melts.
