Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 4 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch the florets for 3-4 minutes, then drain. If using frozen broccoli, thaw completely and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy sauce.
Step 4
Fold the cooked chicken and prepared broccoli into the sauce, ensuring everything is well coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of rice or rolls for a complete meal!
