Ingredients

For the Casserole

4 cups cooked chicken Use rotisserie chicken for maximum convenience and tender meat.
4 cups broccoli florets Fresh broccoli provides a firmer texture; frozen is great for quick prep—just thaw and drain well.
10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup Acts as the savory backbone, ensuring a flavorful and easy sauce.
1 cup sour cream Adds creaminess and a slight tang without being too heavy.
1/2 cup mayonnaise Enhances richness and helps keep the sauce smooth and luscious.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Melts beautifully into the casserole for that comforting cheesy flavor.
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Introduces a sharper note, enriching the overall flavor profile.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Infuses gentle savory notes throughout the dish.
1 teaspoon onion powder Complements the seasoning, offering a complete and well-rounded flavor.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Provides a mild kick, balancing the richness and preventing the dish from being flat.
1 cup breadcrumbs Creates a golden, crispy topping that enhances the texture of the casserole.
4 tablespoons melted butter Aids in browning the breadcrumbs while adding richness to the dish.
