Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the casserole.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9 by 9 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, then pour in the chicken and broccoli mixture, spreading it evenly across the dish.
Add Topping: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole to create a golden crust when baked.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the top is a golden brown color.
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it set and enhance flavors.
Notes
Use freshly steamed broccoli for better texture and flavor.
Substitute mayonnaise with sour cream for a tangier taste.
If dairy-free, replace cheeses and cream with suitable alternatives but adjust cooking time accordingly.
Make sure the chicken is cooked beforehand to reduce total preparation time.
To add more flavor, consider adding chopped onions or herbs like parsley.
For extra crispiness, broil the casserole for the last 2 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
