Equipment

Ingredients

12 ounces broccoli fresh, cut into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken chopped into small bite sized pieces
3/4 cup cheddar cheese grated and divided, I used a cheddar gruyere blend
1/3 cup sour cream
10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper freshly ground

Topping:

3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese finely grated
1 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a 9x9 inch casserole dish, combine all ingredients (12 ounces broccoli, 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup sour cream, 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper) except for 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and the topping ingredients.
In small bowl, combine topping ingredients (3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon butter.
Spread remaining shredded cheese and topping mixture evenly over the contents in the casserole dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and heated through.

Notes

I like my broccoli fairly tender and not soggy, so I use fresh broccoli and don't pre-cook it. If you prefer soft broccoli, you may steam the fresh or frozen broccoli first before adding to the casserole.
Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe, however I poached some chicken breasts in my instant pot by combining with 1 cup of chicken broth and cooking on high pressure for about 12 minutes.
