Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets Blanched
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For topping
  • 1 cup cream of mushroom soup Or any cream soup of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Optional, for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Blanch the broccoli florets in hot water for about 3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
  4. Gently fold in the cooked chicken and blanched broccoli into the cream mixture until everything is well-coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased (9”x13”) baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the cheese for a crunchy topping.
Baking
  1. Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
  2. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a light salad, crusty bread, or roasted vegetables for a wholesome meal. You can also substitute leftover turkey for chicken or use cauliflower instead of broccoli.
