I had never heard of this recipe until I met Ian and he had requested that I make it. My newlywed self was offended that he wanted something out of his mother's recipe box. Really, who can blame any new groom that is so used to his mother's cooking and has to suffer through his wife's cooking. I have come a long way in the kitchen from those years. Better food and less tears!
I am sure everyone on the face of the earth has had this recipe, but just in case you were like me 9 years ago, totally give this one a try. I unwillingly made it for him the first month we were married. Let's just say, that I did not make it for a complete year after I had made it twice a week for 3 months straight! Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right?
Chicken Broccoli Casserole
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cups cooked and chopped broccoli
2 cans cream chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
pepper
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 stick butter, melted
Combine chicken, broccoli, cream soup, sour cream and pepper (to taste) in a bowl. Add in 1 cup cheddar cheese. Pour into a 2 qt baking dish. Top with remaining cheese. In a bowl combine butter and and bread crumbs. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted.
** I typically serve this over rice, but is just as great by it's self. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with this bread.

that dessert has got me thinking....sounds delish!!
My mouth is totally watering over the pink lemonade pie. Sweet...sour...yummy!
I totally hope you keep up the FAb food Friday!! I made the chick & brocc casserole tonight and it was GREAT! I also made the lemonade pie for tomorrow....I KNOW it will taste great too just by licking the bowl!! :) Thanks for all the great recipes!
I made this tonight, and it was so yummy! But is there too much bread crumb mixture, or is it just me?
I add a pinch of curry. Love this recipe.
I agree. Next time I make this I'm going to leave it off but that's just my preference :)
Yum! I add curry too. My recipe calls for mayo instead of sour cream. If I'm out of cream of chicken or just trying to be healthier I use mel's kitchen cafe's recipe which makes it from scratch but is still pretty simple to make. Also I put chicken tenderloin and broccoli into the casserole frozen and then bake it for 45 min. :) my mom made this while I was growing up and it is still a favorite!
I use Alfredo sauce instead of cream of mushroom ...really a delish sub.
