Cozy Comfort: The Ultimate Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Comfort Food Creation: Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and comforting dish that always reminds me of home. As the weather starts to cool down, there’s nothing quite like a warm and cheesy casserole to fill your belly and soothe your soul. This Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole is a perfect balance of creamy, savory, and satisfying flavors that will have you coming back for more.

For this recipe, you will need:

• boneless, skinless chicken breasts (400g)
• broccoli florets (250g)
• cheddar cheese, shredded (200g)
• cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
• milk (120ml)
• bread crumbs (50g)
• butter, melted (30g)
• salt and pepper, to taste

Prepare your kitchen tools:

• baking dish
• mixing bowl
• knife
• cutting board
• oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your baking dish. Thinly slice the chicken breasts and blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Layer the sliced chicken and blanched broccoli in the greased baking dish, then pour the soup mixture over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.

In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Once done, let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish weighs approximately 1200g once cooked and serves 6 people. Each serving weighs around 200g and has an estimated calorie count of 350.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne pepper to the bread crumb topping before baking for a subtle kick of heat.

I hope you give this Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and make it your own comfort food masterpiece. Happy cooking!
