Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast
• 300 g Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, lightly season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the cooked chicken, blanched broccoli, and cooked white rice into the creamy mixture. Stir until evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the breadcrumbs for a cheesy topping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken broccoli bake!
