Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (cooked and shredded) Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 10.5 oz (1 can) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Fold in the cooked shredded chicken, half of the shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup), and the steamed broccoli.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup) evenly over the top of the chicken and broccoli mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Serve over cooked white rice for a heartier meal.
