Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
This chicken and broccoli casserole combines cooked chicken breast, broccoli, potatoes, a creamy sauce, cheddar cheese, and a crisp breadcrumb topping. It is a practical family-style dinner and a useful way to turn cooked chicken into a warm oven-baked meal.
Tips for the Best Chicken Broccoli Casserole
- Cut the potatoes into similar-size cubes so they cook evenly.
- Blanch the broccoli only briefly because it continues cooking in the oven.
- Use already-cooked chicken as listed in the recipe for straightforward preparation.
- Let the casserole rest for five minutes after baking so it is easier to portion.
Simple Variations
Greek yogurt can replace sour cream as noted in the recipe. You can also omit the chicken and add extra vegetables for a meat-free variation.
