CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE
Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

BEST CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE EVER
My friend Kevin made this one night for his own dinner. About 5 or 6 people then wandered into his house around dinnertime and demanded "just a taste". Kevin had to go to McDonald's because we ate all his supper! Although I am not a fan of soup food in general, this is one of the best incarnations of the genre I have ever seen! Bring on the can opener and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use fresh broccoli florets, tender chicken breasts, and a flavorful cheese blend for the best results.
- Cut the chicken and broccoli into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: If you're using a 9x13 inch dish, use no more than 2 pounds of chicken and broccoli. If you're using a smaller dish, reduce the amount of chicken and broccoli accordingly.
- Season the chicken and broccoli generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
- Use a flavorful cheese blend: A combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella is a classic choice. You can also use other cheeses, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or fontina.
- Bake the casserole until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 25-30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help the cheese to set.
Conclusion:
Chicken and broccoli bake is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender chicken and broccoli, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
