Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for a meat substitute or extra vegetables.
Try different cheeses such as mozzarella or a blend of cheeses for unique flavors.
Add sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers to the chicken-broccoli mixture for extra flavor.
Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño for a spicy version.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes or microwave individual portions.
For freezing, wrap the casserole tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and bake directly from frozen, adding extra time to the cooking process.
