Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This simple and easy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe, or chicken divan, is ready for the oven in minutes.

I love it and make it often. It's a great make-ahead dish to serve guests.

Simple and quick to put together, I make it a few hours ahead, then bake as needed.

It is one of the easiest frozen broccoli recipes you will find.

I love easy casserole recipes.

They are a great way to use up leftovers and make great dinner recipes for every day or entertaining.

Broccoli and Chicken Casserole

2 cups cut up cooked chicken
2 10 oz packages frozen broccoli or equivalent fresh. If using fresh, steam lightly until underdone. If using frozen, use as is.
1 cup shredded cheddar (or other tasty) cheese
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can of water or milk

Topping: 1 cup breadcrumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons softened butter

Heat oven to 350°. Arrange cooked chicken in ungreased baking dish or glass casserole. (Use the long size, not the square, about 7½" by 11½").

Layer broccoli over chicken. Sprinkle 1/2 the cheese over. Stir together milk and soup and pour over all. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Top with a thin layer of the breadcrumbs.

Bake uncovered for 25 - 30 minutes.


Variations:

• Use turkey instead of chicken to make this a great recipe for turkey leftovers during holiday time.

• Replace the breadcrumb topping with 1 small can of French fried onion rings for a tasty crunch. Bake without the onion rings for 25 minutes, then sprinkle them on top and cook for another 5 minutes.

• Lower the fat content by using low fat soup and low fat milk or replacing the milk with water.
