Description

This Broccoli Chicken Casserole is a creamy, cheesy dish combining tender shredded chicken, nutritious broccoli florets, and a crunchy stuffing topping. Enhanced with a condensed mushroom soup and mayonnaise sauce, it offers a comforting blend of flavors perfect for a hearty family meal. Using leftover chicken or turkey speeds up prep time, while a crispy stuffing mix adds delightful texture.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Vegetables

  • 1 pound broccoli florets, cooked

Cheese and Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Others

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup dry stuffing mix

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including chicken breasts, broccoli, condensed mushroom soup, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, and stuffing mix.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the casserole later.
  3. Cook Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large pot and cover them with enough water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot tightly and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
  4. Prepare Chicken Pieces: Remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool slightly before cutting into bite-sized pieces for layering.
  5. Mix Sauce: Combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup with mayonnaise in a bowl until smooth and thoroughly mixed.
  6. Assemble Casserole: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer the cut chicken evenly at the bottom. Top the chicken with the cooked broccoli florets, then pour the soup and mayonnaise mixture over the broccoli. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  7. Add Stuffing Topping: Finish by sprinkling the dry stuffing mix as a crunchy topping over the cheese layer.
  8. Bake: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is fully melted.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the casserole hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a creamier casserole, increase the cheese to 1.5 cups and use an extra can of condensed soup.
  • Leftover cooked chicken or turkey can be used to reduce cooking time.
  • Ensure broccoli is pre-cooked to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
  • This casserole can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
