Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, and shred or cube the chicken.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Stir the cooked chicken and blanched broccoli into the sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
