Ingredients
Scale
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some cooked mushrooms or sliced almonds into the chicken mixture.
You can also substitute the broccoli with other vegetables like cauliflower or green beans for a different twist.
