Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the chicken and broccoli mixture in the baking dish.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute the cream of chicken soup with Greek yogurt or a low-fat alternative.
  • Add cooked rice or quinoa to the chicken mixture for a heartier dish.
