  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups cooked pasta (e.g., egg noodles)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), letting the warmth build as you gather your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked pasta, and steamed broccoli.
  3. Add the cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder, followed by a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until every ingredient is well-coated.
  4. Transfer this creamy mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. If you crave a bit of crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the casserole before it goes in the oven.
Cooking
  1. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
  2. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a healthier version, swap sour cream for Greek yogurt and incorporate extra veggies like spinach or bell peppers. Use whole grain pasta for added fiber.
