Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets provide a vibrant green color and crisp texture to the casserole. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: To ensure food safety, make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: Overcooking can make the chicken dry and tough, and the broccoli mushy. Bake the casserole just until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is heated through.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Add some extra vegetables: To make the casserole even more nutritious, add some additional vegetables, such as chopped carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Layered chicken broccoli casserole is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
