Baked Potato Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Boil the cubed potatoes for 8–10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Steam the broccoli for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir in the chicken, potatoes, broccoli, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until everything is well coated.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and golden on top.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Variations

  • Add cooked bacon or ham for extra savory depth.
  • Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or a cheddar-mozzarella blend.
  • Use cauliflower instead of broccoli for a low-carb twist.
  • Add a cup of cooked rice for an even heartier casserole.

Tips

  • Don’t overcook the potatoes — just tender is perfect so they hold their shape while baking.
  • For extra crunch, top with buttered breadcrumbs or crushed Ritz crackers before baking.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to help it set and scoop cleanly.
  • Prep ahead: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance and bake when ready.
