Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Large Skillet
- Mixing Spoon
- Oven
- Steamer
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 3 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, gather all your ingredients. Steaming the broccoli ensures it’s tender but still vibrant green. Pro tip: Don’t overcook the broccoli; it should retain a slight crunch. Combine the cooked chicken, broccoli, cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large skillet. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it evenly to ensure every bite has the perfect balance of flavors. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top. Add breadcrumbs for a golden, crispy layer. The contrast between the creamy filling and crunchy topping makes this dish extra special.
- Bake the dish for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it toward the end; you want the cheese bubbly and the breadcrumbs golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making everyone eager to dig in. Once done, let it cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
