Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
• 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
• 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Ritz crackers (crushed)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the fresh broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain the broccoli and set it aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the blanched broccoli into the chicken mixture, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are coated evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs over the cheese layer to create a crunchy topping.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole!
