Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole later.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, heavy cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well blended.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking. Then pour the chicken and broccoli mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole for a golden crust once baked.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: After baking, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen broccoli florets; just be sure to steam until tender before mixing.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken works well for convenience.
- If you prefer a thicker casserole, reduce the heavy cream slightly.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika.
