Equipment
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Large skillet
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spoon or spatula
- Cutting board and knife
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 2 cups broccoli florets steamed
- 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet, cook the chicken (if not using pre-cooked chicken) and set aside. Shred the chicken once it’s cooked.
- Steam the broccoli until tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the creamy sauce.
- Add the shredded chicken and steamed broccoli to the bowl and stir to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the casserole.
- If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese layer for a crispy topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
