Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets, lightly steamed
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gently stir in the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli florets, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
- Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top in an even layer.
- In a small bowl, toss the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this buttery mixture over the cheese layer to create a satisfying crunch.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cracker topping is golden brown. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
