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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle over the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- 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.
