Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cheddar soup
- 2 cups frozen broccoli see note
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner pieces. Place them side-by-side in a 9x13 casserole dish. Sprinkle them with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a bit of salt & pepper.
- Spoon the condensed soup over top of the chicken (don't add water to it).
- Place the frozen broccoli around the chicken.
- Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil (or the oven safe lid the casserole dish came with if it came with one) and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the cheese on top (concentrate it on the chicken). Place it back in the oven, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165F).
- When serving, dish the chicken up first, and then give the broccoli a stir with the sauce as it does release some water while cooking. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed.

Notes
- You can use fresh broccoli, but it may end up a bit firmer. I'd cut it small or boil it for 1-2 minutes prior to adding it to the recipe if you prefer it to be softer.
- I don't thaw the broccoli first.
