Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Once fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C), shred or dice the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, using 2 tablespoons of butter, and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Step 6
Layer the casserole: Spread the cooked chicken evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the blanched broccoli florets, then pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the top.
Step 7
Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over the sauce layer, ensuring it covers the entire casserole.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the stuffing topping is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
