Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook until al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside until needed.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 cup broccoli; toss and cook just until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle broccoli with flour, and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Pour in the milk, and stir to blend. Season with salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper powder, if desired. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer mixture until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, ground chicken, and remaining 1 cup of broccoli. Cook and stir until chicken is evenly browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven broiler to High. Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Toss the pasta with the broccoli sauce until evenly blended. Stir in the sour cream, if desired. Stir the broccoli sauce mixture into the chicken mixture. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Cook under preheated broiler until cheese melts and browns around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.

MY MOM'S CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE CASSEROLE
I could eat a whole pan of this. ..I've found that the texture of the sauce comes out grainy when I use pre-shredded bags of cheese - for best results, use a good quality block of cheese and grate it yourself. ..I hope you enjoy this! It's pure comfort food to me.

MOM'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This casserole is not fancy or "gourmet" by any means, but I love the stuff. My mom got the recipe from a church cookbook, I think, and she makes it best. As with most recipes that call for cooked chicken, I buy a roasted chicken at the supermarket and use that. Easy! Prep time and servings are approximate.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this casserole. If you're using breasts, be sure to slice them into thin strips so they cook evenly.
- Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli florets will give your casserole the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so be sure to use a good quality cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. You can also use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan.
- Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what makes this casserole so creamy and delicious. Be sure to use a generous amount of sauce, and don't be afraid to add more if you want a richer flavor.
Conclusion:
This creamy chicken broccoli casserole is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat for lunch or dinner. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and fresh broccoli, this casserole is sure to be a hit.
