Ingredients
- 3 Pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Pounds shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 Cups mayonnaise
- 2 pounds frozen broccoli
- 1 cup chopped onion
Instructions
- Boil the chicken breasts for 20 minutes and then cut into 1/2 inch cubes. In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients, except for 1 pound of Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Place the mixture in a large glass baking dish, and sprinkle the remaining pound of Shredded Cheddar Cheese on the top.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 60 minutes or until the topping on the cheese bubbles. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes to allow the cheese to congeal before serving.

Notes
- For the most flavorful and economical option, consider using bone-in split chicken breasts instead of boneless skinless breasts. They're typically less expensive and offer more flavor. Simply poach them for 20-25 minutes, then remove the skin and bones before shredding or cubing the meat. If you have a stand mixer, you can use it with a paddle attachment to quickly shred the chicken. The frozen broccoli in this recipe saves significant prep time as it's already blanched, but be sure to thaw and drain it well to prevent excess water in your casserole.
