Baked Potato Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
Ingredients:
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes: Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat a little oil and sauté the diced chicken with garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the chicken is cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
- Steam the Broccoli: Lightly steam the broccoli florets until they are tender but still bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Casserole: In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, cooked chicken, and broccoli. Stir in sour cream, milk, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until everything is well-coated.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top and drizzle with the melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the casserole cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Enjoy your hearty, cheesy casserole!
