Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Layer the broccoli evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the shredded or cubed cooked chicken on top of the broccoli.

Step 5

Pour the soup and cheese mixture over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
