Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed

  • 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, lightly steamed)

  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 cup sour cream or mayonnaise

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for flavor depth)

  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs (optional topping)

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven – Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Cook the broccoli – Steam or microwave the broccoli until tender-crisp, then drain well to remove excess moisture.

  • Prepare the creamy sauce – In a large mixing bowl, combine the soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well blended.

  • Add chicken and broccoli – Gently fold in the cooked chicken and broccoli, coating everything evenly in the sauce.

  • Assemble the casserole – Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

  • Add topping – Mix crushed crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole. Add extra cheese on top for a golden crust.

  • Bake until bubbly – Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until hot and lightly browned on top.

  • Cool slightly before serving – Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
