Ingredients
- 2 large Chicken breasts
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until lightly browned but not fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly, then shred or cube the chicken.
Step 3
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Add the cooked chicken and asparagus to the bowl, tossing to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated, then sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
