Whip up a delicious broccoli chicken casserole with tender chicken, fresh broccoli, creamy sauce and melted cheese for a cozy family dinner.
Ingredients
- Cooked chicken: Use any cooked chicken, whether it's from leftover roast chicken, store-bought rotisserie chicken (rotisserie chicken recipes are excellent short-cut meals!) or grilled chicken breasts. If you buy a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, a half chicken should be just the right amount. You’ll pull the chicken from the bones and then chop the meat into small pieces.
- Broccoli: Using frozen broccoli is quick and easy, but you can also use fresh broccoli if you prefer. Just make sure to steam it beforehand so it’s cooked through.
- Broccoli cheese soup: Condensed soup casserole recipes have long been staples in home kitchens. The soup adds a thick, creamy texture to this casserole, as well as a broccoli-cheese flavor.
- Chicken stuffing mix: Using instant stuffing mix keeps this recipe quick and easy. Make sure to only use 1-1/2 cups of water even if the directions call for more!
- Cheddar cheese: Everyone wants an extra cheesy casserole! Use shredded cheddar cheese for ease, but grating your own results in better flavor.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions, using only 1-1/2 cups water.
- Prepare a greased 11×7 inch baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli and condensed soup. Transfer to the baking dish and spread out into an even layer.
- Top with the stuffing and then sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and continue to bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Tip: Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving so it has time to set.
