Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, take a moment to lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a non-stick haven for your delicious creation.
Step 3
Next, grab a pot and bring some water to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling, toss in the cubed chicken and let it cook until it’s no longer pink, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Afterward, drain the chicken and set it aside, letting it cool just a bit.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vibrant chopped broccoli with creamy chicken soup, a generous helping of Cheddar cheese, half a cup of Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 7
Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended.
Step 8
Now, gently fold the drained chicken into the broccoli mixture, ensuring every piece is coated in that creamy goodness.
Step 9
Pour this delightful mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a lovely layer.
Step 10
Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 20 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
Step 11
When the time is up, take it out and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top, then return it to the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a golden, cheesy crust.
Step 12
Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for it to cool just a bit before serving, and get ready to savor every bite of this comforting dish!.
