How To Make Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

Start by making the sauce: add 1.5 cups sour cream to a bowl.

Add 1 can of cream of chicken soup to the bowl.

Add 2 cups of extra sharp cheddar cheese, reserving 0.5 cups for topping later.

Add 0.5 cups of milk to the mixture for creaminess, or chicken broth if preferred.

Spray a 9 by 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Spread a little bit of the sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Layer 2 pounds of chicken tenderloins in the dish.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Spread more sauce over the chicken to ensure it is covered.

Add 2 cups of thawed frozen broccoli on top of the chicken.

Sprinkle a little salt over the broccoli for seasoning.

Pour the remaining sauce over the broccoli.

Crush a sleeve of Ritz crackers and sprinkle them over the top of the casserole.

Top the casserole with the reserved 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the casserole for 45 minutes, checking that the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cover the casserole with tinfoil if it starts to brown too much during baking.

Let the casserole sit for a few minutes after removing it from the oven before serving.
