Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked rice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or a non-stick spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and season them with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken pieces until lightly browned on the outside, about 3-4 minutes. (They don’t need to be fully cooked.)
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth.
Add minced garlic, 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to the soup mixture. Stir well to combine.
Arrange the uncooked broccoli florets evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Layer the partially cooked chicken pieces over the broccoli.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli, making sure everything is well coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, serve over cooked rice for a heartier meal.
