Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole Recipe with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Description: Dive into a comforting meal with our Chicken Broccoli Casserole, featuring tender chicken breast, vibrant broccoli, and a creamy mushroom sauce, topped with melted Cheddar cheese and crispy stuffing. Perfect for cozy family dinners!
Ingredients:
– 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
– 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
– 1 pound broccoli florets, cooked to perfection
– 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
– 1 cup dry stuffing mix
Directions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large pot, place the chicken breasts and add enough water to fully cover them. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover tightly with a lid, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, approximately 15 minutes.
3. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Then, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup with mayonnaise, creating a creamy sauce.
5. Next, layer the cooked chicken in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Follow with a layer of cooked broccoli florets, spreading them evenly over the chicken. Pour the prepared soup mixture over the broccoli layer, ensuring it covers evenly.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, providing a deliciously cheesy finish.
7. Finally, evenly distribute the dry stuffing mix over the cheese layer, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
8. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until it’s bubbly and the cheese has melted beautifully, typically around 25 to 30 minutes.
9. Once baked to perfection, serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this Chicken Broccoli Casserole with your loved ones!
