Quick Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
This chicken and broccoli casserole is a great dish to make on a busy weeknight. Serve it with potatoes or a lower carb option.
This chicken casserole is super easy to fix and bake. The casserole is a combination of cooked diced chicken, broccoli, and a simple, flavorful sauce. The casserole is easily scaled up for a large family or potluck dinner casserole.
I used cream of chicken soup with herbs for the sauce, which gave it a little extra flavor, but plain cream of chicken would work just as well. If you prefer a homemade sauce, make a thick white sauce flavored with chicken base or bouillon.
