Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Brown in a skillet over medium-high heat until just cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, and 1 cup cheddar until smooth.
  3. Fold chicken and broccoli into the cheese mixture, then transfer to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish.
  4. Top with remaining ½ cup cheddar and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes, then scoop and serve hot.

Notes

Letting the casserole rest after baking helps the sauce thicken so it slices and scoops cleanly. If you want extra char on the cheese, broil for the last 2 minutes, watching closely.
