Tips:

  • Use a large baking dish: This will ensure that the chicken and broccoli have enough room to cook evenly and that the sauce doesn't boil over.
  • Cut the chicken into small pieces: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. You can also use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a time-saving option.
  • Steam the broccoli before adding it to the dish: This will help it retain its vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will add depth of flavor to the dish. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all great options.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives for an extra pop of flavor.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal.
