Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Crushed Ritz crackers
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften them, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth sauce.
Add the shredded chicken and blanched broccoli to the sauce mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheddar cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
