Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces (about 1.5 pounds) Chicken breasts
- 3 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 box (about 6 ounces) Stuffing mix
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove from heat, shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Spread the cooked chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Add the blanched broccoli florets on top of the chicken.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it with a spatula to cover the layers.
In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix, melted butter, and water. Stir until the stuffing mix has absorbed the liquid. Spread the moistened stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the stuffing topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Broccoli and Stuffing Casserole with a side salad or your favorite bread!
