Ingredients
- 4 cups uncooked broccoli
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup dry bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
Get Prepped
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Dice the chicken. Combine the soup and milk in a medium bowl, and the breadcrumbs and butter in a small bowl.
Cup of Yum
Cook the chicken
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until until golden brown and cooked through.
Combine and Bake
- Add the cooked chicken and broccoli to an 8x8 baking dish, and pour the soup/milk mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese and pour over the breadcrumbs/butter mixture.
- Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Notes
- Shortcuts:Want to take a shortcut or 2? Use precooked rotisserie chicken or buy fully cooked chicken from the grocery store. Using precooked chicken is a great shortcut and can cut your prep time significantly. You'll need about 2 cups of cooked chicken.
- Buy broccoli that is already cut into florets, or use frozen broccoli.
- What to do with leftovers
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot!
- Reheating:Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until hot and bubbly. If you made this ahead, just cook in the oven at 350 degrees F until hot and bubbly. It should take around 30 minutes from refrigerated.
- Substitutions/Additions
- You can use potato chips, ritz crackers, saltine crackers or panko bread crumbs if you prefer.
- You can use any kind of condensed soup – I recommend Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Celery or just plain Cheddar Soup. You can make your own Cream of Chicken Soup too
- How to freeze
- Wrap tightly, label and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw, and bake 30 minutes until bubbling.
