Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices white sandwich bread (e.g., Wonderbread)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts for about 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the pot and let cool slightly. Then, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Step 5
Add the shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl, and mix until the chicken is evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
Step 6
Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Tear the slices of white bread into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the casserole to form an even layer.
Step 8
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the bread pieces.
Step 9
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the buttered bread pieces.
Step 10
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Step 11
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with dried parsley, if desired.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy!
