Description

A comforting casserole combining tender chicken, creamy potatoes, and fresh broccoli, enveloped in a cheesy, savory sauce and baked to perfection.


Ingredients

3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb chicken breast, cubed

2 cups broccoli florets

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, chicken, broccoli, sour cream, shredded cheddar, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle over the casserole.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

You can add crumbled bacon for extra flavor.

Swap out russet potatoes for sweet potatoes for a different flavor and healthier option.

If you prefer a dairy-free version, use almond milk or coconut cream and dairy-free sour cream.

To make this gluten-free, substitute the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or omit them altogether.

This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge for easy baking later.

For spice, consider adding red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
