Ah, a classic comfort food combo! Here’s a delicious Baked Potato, Chicken, and Broccoli Casserole recipe that’s creamy, cheesy, and satisfying. I’ll give a full, step-by-step version.
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (rotisserie works great)
- 3–4 medium baking potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for a milder flavor)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Cook potatoes
Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for 8–10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside. - Steam broccoli
Steam broccoli florets until bright green and slightly tender (about 3–4 minutes). You don’t want them mushy since they’ll bake more in the casserole. - Prepare the creamy mixture
In a large bowl, mix:- Sour cream
- Cream of chicken soup
- Milk
- Butter (melted)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt & pepper
- Combine main ingredients
Add cooked chicken, potatoes, broccoli, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the creamy mixture. Stir until evenly coated. - Transfer to baking dish
Pour the mixture into the greased dish. Sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top. Optional: sprinkle breadcrumbs or Parmesan for a crunchy topping. - Bake
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and the top is golden brown. If needed, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness. - Serve
Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Perfect on its own or with a simple salad.
✅ Tips for extra flavor:
- Toss the chicken in a little paprika or smoked paprika before mixing.
- Add chopped onions or bell peppers for more texture.
- For a lighter version, swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan shortcut version that uses frozen diced potatoes and broccoli, so you can get this on the table in under 40 minutes.
Do you want me to do that?
