Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender and bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the frozen hash browns, cooked broccoli, and sautéed onions to the bowl. Fold everything together until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Hash Brown Casserole!
