Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 4 cups Fresh or frozen broccoli florets
- 2 cans Condensed cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of butter.
If using fresh broccoli, blanch the florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside. If using frozen, make sure it is thawed and drained.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked chicken and broccoli to the bowl, and stir until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are coated, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy Chicken Divan Casserole!
