- 4 cups cooked chicken diced (about 3 medium breasts)
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked rice optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions for topping
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Steam broccoli florets until just tender - about 3-4 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Fold in the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and 1½ cups of the cheddar cheese. If using rice, add it now.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Top with remaining cheddar cheese and mozzarella.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil, add crispy fried onions, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
