Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the broccoli florets. Blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Fold in the cooked chicken, blanched broccoli, and cooked rice. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs, then sprinkle this over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken and Broccoli Casserole!
