Description
- Discover the best cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe. A creamy, comforting dish perfect for any weeknight dinner
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if using raw chicken breasts)
- 1 ½ – 2 pounds broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 10 ½ ounces can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup)
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Breadcrumb Topping:
- 3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs or crushed buttery crackers
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish or a 3-quart casserole dish.
- If using raw chicken breasts, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked. Set the chicken aside.
- In the meantime, cook the broccoli in a large pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Drain well and transfer the broccoli to the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of cheddar cheese, condensed soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, pepper, and salt. Stir in the cooked chicken, then spread the mixture over the broccoli in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- In a small bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs or crushed crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
- Serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes as desired.
