Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets, lightly steamed
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Lightly grease a small baking dish.
- Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the dish, layer the steamed broccoli on top, then pour the creamy mixture over everything and spread gently to cover.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is lightly golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
Notes
- Drain the broccoli well after steaming to prevent a watery casserole.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting and better texture.
- You can assemble the dish ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Add a light sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top before baking for extra texture if desired.
