How to Make Broccoli Chicken Casserole

This casserole is just wonderful, it is easy to make and clean up is a breeze. The cheese, broccoli and chicken are enhanced by the stuffing. I served this for dinner last night and it was such a hit that I didn't have any leftovers and the kids were asking me to make it again.

For easy cleanup make sure to use a glazed baking dish or a casserole dish specifically. The glaze on the casserole dish helps keep the food from sticking and caking onto the pan. I've found that the white casserole dishes that come with a glass lid are the best to use. There are many manufactures of these dishes but remember you get what you pay for.

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves.
  • 1 pound broccoli florets, cooked.
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup.
  • 1 Table spoon mayonnaise.
  • 1 Cup shredded Cheddar cheese.
  • 1 Cup dry stuffing mix.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Boil the chicken until tender and shred or cut into bite size pieces.
  3. Steam the broccoli until crisp but tender.
  4. In a small bowl mix together the soup and mayonnaise. Set aside.
  5. In a 9x13 inch baking dish layer the chicken, broccoli, soup mixture and cheese.
  6. Sprinkle dry stuffing mix over the top and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

I also spice up the dish by adding chopped onions to the ingredients or even the dried onions you can buy in a can. It just gives it that extra little kick.
