Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (substitute with turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option)
2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (try using a blend of cheeses for more depth of flavor)
1 cup cream of chicken soup (or a homemade equivalent for a healthier version)
1/2 cup milk (substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup breadcrumbs (opt for whole-grain or gluten-free options)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a perfectly baked dish.
If using fresh broccoli, steam the florets until vibrant green and slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes. For frozen broccoli, thaw and drain any excess water.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the casserole for that crunchy, inviting topping that everyone adores.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Once baked, allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
