Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 cups cooked white rice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the chicken breasts: Bring a pot of water to boil, add the chicken breasts, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from water, let cool slightly, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Fold the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli into the creamy mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
If using cooked white rice, spread it evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Otherwise, skip this step.
Pour the chicken and broccoli mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and stir until they are lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the toasted bread crumbs evenly over the casserole, followed by the parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to prevent drying out), and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Optional: To freeze and make ahead, assemble the casserole in a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
