Broccoli Cheddar
Juicy chicken with broccoli and a cheesy sauce topped with buttery Ritz crackers. This family favorite is an easy to make casserole much like the one at Cracker Barrel.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets (or tenderloins)
- ½ to 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup whole milk
- 10.5 ounce cheddar cheese soup (I use Campbell's)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
- 10 ounces frozen broccoli florets (frozen and thawed)
- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers crushed, divided
- 3 teaspoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly spray the bottom of a 9 X 13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken at the bottom of a large casserole dish and season it with salt and pepper.
- Add the broccoli and evenly distribute it around the chicken, nestling it in.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cheddar soup, 1 cup of shredded cheese, ½ cup of crushed crackers, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken and broccoli.
- Next, add the remaining shredded cheese over the top, and then sprinkle the crushed crackers over the cheese.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the crackers.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165℉.
Notes
If you would like to use full breasts make sure to cut in half or smaller pieces. If using larger breast increase cook time by 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked and 165 degrees in the center.
