Directions
Fantastic Chicken Broccoli Casserole, Southern comfort food My mom makes this when cold weather hits – ooey, gooey, and oh so rich Occasionally, I’ll swap out part of the cheddar cheese with Velveeta Crumbles Cook time includes time for the casserole to sit You can use about a pound of cooked chicken breasts, shredded or cubed, in place of the canned chicken , My son thought this would be great without the broccoli My husband and I enjoyed it A whole stick of butter was a bit much, I thought used cooked chicken breast, cubed Thank you for posting , I’m giving this 5 stars, but I did make several adjustments to the recipe used fresh chicken cooked and diced myself (seasoned the chicken with garlic salt and onion powder, cause otherwise, the recipe has no seasonings) Also, I thought it was such a waste of fat and calories to cook the Ritz in a stick of butter, so I just crumbled them on top, sprinkled on some onion flakes, and sprayed the top with Pam to keep from burning Cooked at 350 for 30 minutes, and it was perfect I absolutely LOVED this dish!

Notes: Casserole Can Be Assembled Through Step 3 the Day Ahead. Cover With Foil and Store in the Refrigerator Until Time to Bake. Pick Up With Step 4. Also, the Cracker Topping Can Be Made by Melting the Butter in the Microwave, Crushing the Crackers in a Large Ziptop Bag, and Pouring the Butter Over the Crumbs. Squeeze the Bag to Make Sure the Butter Is Distributed Evenly. Ingredients Can Be Swapped For Their Low-Fat Counterparts, but the Texture Won't Be as Creamy. |
