Ingredients
- 10.5 ounce condensed cream of chicken soup can
- 1 ½ cups sour cream I do not recommend lite sour cream
- 1 onion soup mix or Knorr French Onion Recipe Mix, dry packet Lipton
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- 4 cups chicken see FAQs in blog post for ideas, but leftover chicken from a whole roasted chicken or store bought rotisserie chicken are my go-to options, shredded, cooked
- 2 cups broccoli if you prefer a crisper texture use fresh broccoli, if you prefer softer broccoli use previously frozen broccoli that you thaw, florets
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup fried onions crispy, French style
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside momentarily.
- To a large bowl, add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, French onion soup mix packet, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. Tip - You can likely use thick Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, although I haven't tested it.
- Add the shredded chicken, broccoli, shredded cheese, and stir to combine.
- Turn the mixture out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle the French fried onions over the top.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake covered for about 30 minutes, or until everything is warmed through and the broccoli is as soft as desired.
- Remove the foil, and bake uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the top is as lightly golden browned as desired.
- Allow the casserole to cool momentarily before serving.
