Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Once fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C), shred or dice the chicken and set aside.
Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, using 2 tablespoons of butter, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Layer the casserole: Spread the cooked chicken evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the blanched broccoli florets, then pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the top.
Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over the sauce layer, ensuring it covers the entire casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the stuffing topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
