Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
If using fresh broccoli, blanch the florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and pat dry.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Add shredded chicken and broccoli florets to the bowl. Gently toss to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole in an even layer.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly moistened. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken and Broccoli Divine!
