Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Layer the broccoli evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the shredded or cubed cooked chicken on top of the broccoli.
Pour the soup and cheese mixture over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
