Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (about 1 pound total) Chicken breasts
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, melted Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups (for steaming broccoli) Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on the outside, about 5-6 minutes (they do not need to be fully cooked). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add the broccoli florets and steam for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Spread the steamed broccoli evenly across the prepared baking dish. Layer the partially cooked chicken over the broccoli.
Pour the cheese mixture over the chicken and broccoli, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until moistened. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the Broccoli Chicken Bake to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
