Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully.
Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl and mash them with a fork.
To the mashed yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In the casserole dish, layer the shredded chicken evenly on the bottom, followed by the broccoli florets.
Pipe or spoon the deviled egg yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites, then evenly arrange the stuffed eggs on top of the chicken and broccoli layers.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter, then sprinkle the mixture on top of the cheese.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
