Ingredients

• 2 large (about 1 pound total) Chicken breasts
• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons, melted Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 cups (for steaming broccoli) Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on the outside, about 5-6 minutes (they do not need to be fully cooked). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add the broccoli florets and steam for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.

Step 7

Spread the steamed broccoli evenly across the prepared baking dish. Layer the partially cooked chicken over the broccoli.

Step 8

Pour the cheese mixture over the chicken and broccoli, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until moistened. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the casserole.

Step 10

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the Broccoli Chicken Bake to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
