You will need:
12 ounce bag of frozen cut broccoli
2 cups cooked cubed chicken
1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2 cups of grated cheddar cheese, divided
Directions for Easy Cheesy Chicken Broccoli:
Cook broccoli until ¾ of the way done, until just soft.
Layer the broccoli in the bottom of a 9”x13” casserole dish.
Next layer the chicken on top of the broccoli – for a time-saving tip, use store-bought rotisserie chicken!
In a bowl, mix both soups, mayo, sour cream and one cup of the cheese – to make this easy cheesy chicken broccoli casserole a gluten-free side dish, just substitute the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup for gluten-free ones. Campbell’s soup has a gluten-free version for both!
Next spread the mixture on top of the broccoli
Now bake at 350 degrees F uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and bake until the cheese melts.
You can also top this with crushed Ritz cracker and French fried onions!
It’s seriously the BEST! You can save time by using a grocery store rotisserie chicken too!
This casserole is so great for the holidays! We have this at every Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, it’s a family tradition in our house!
This side dish eats like a meal too! Great dinner with a side of crusty bread for a weeknight, the perfect comfort food!
