Ingredients

4 cups chicken cooked, shredded
4 cups broccoli florets frozen, thawed, drained
31 ounces cream of chicken soup equal to 2 cans
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup butter crackers crushed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, thawed broccoli florets, and cream of chicken soup until well combined.
Transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed butter crackers evenly over the chicken and broccoli mixture.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the crackers.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
Take out the casserole and cool for 5-10 minutes before eating.

Notes

You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or any cooked chicken you have on hand.

Grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for even easier prep. It's great for using up leftover chicken too!

If the casserole seems a little dry before reheating, add in a few tablespoons of chicken broth.

Substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken.

If you don't have crackers, use some crushed corn flakes or panko bread crumbs instead. Mix in a little parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
