Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or homemade equivalent)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook the diced potatoes until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, blanch the broccoli by adding it to boiling water for 2 minutes, then quickly transferring it to ice water to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Add the cooked chicken, potatoes, and broccoli into the mixing bowl with the sauce. Stir gently until everything is well coated.
  2. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top. If desired, top with breadcrumbs.
Baking
  1. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
  2. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace the cream of chicken soup with Greek yogurt or a homemade creamy mushroom sauce. You can also use leftover roasted chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven at 350°F (175°C).
