Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken and Broccoli: While the potatoes are cooking, steam or blanch the broccoli until just tender (about 4-5 minutes). If using frozen broccoli, make sure it’s fully thawed and drained. Set aside.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Assemble the Casserole: In a large baking dish, combine the boiled potatoes, cooked chicken, and broccoli. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
- Add Breadcrumbs (Optional): If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them on top for a crispy finish.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy hot!
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or microwave individual servings.
