This broccoli cheddar chicken casserole can be turned into a vegetarian side dish if you omit the chicken. I’ll totally leave that up to you; it’s yum-yum either way.
With minimal ingredients (and most of them from the pantry), it’s a quick and easy meal for busy days.
Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Casserole
What you need to make this easy casserole:
- Broccoli – You can use frozen or fresh florets or cuts but the broccoli should be pre-cooked to your desired tenderness when you start the recipe.
- Condensed cheddar cheese soup
- French fried onions
- Ground black pepper
- Chicken – From your pantry, you can use a can of premium chunk white chicken. You can also use shredded rotisserie chicken or any chicken you have on hand. I usually cook several chicken breasts on the weekend for use in recipes during the week, and I chop and freeze each one individually. For this recipe, I used one chopped chicken breast.
- Salt to taste
Can I substitute ingredients or add other ingredients?
Of course!
I think frozen cauliflower or any variety of frozen mixed vegetables would be delicious.
Try ground beef or ground turkey instead of chicken.
Sprinkle on some shredded cheese in the last five minutes of baking.
