Servings: 8
Ingredients
for the casserole:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups broccoli florets cut into bite sized pieces
- 3 cups cooked chicken cut into bite sized pieces
for the topping:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat, until melted. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbly and golden. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the sauce until thickened and bubbling. Remove the sauce from the heat, and stir in the sour cream and salt.
- Add the broccoli to a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until softened slightly but not fully cooked. Drain well.
- Add the broccoli and chicken to the skillet with the sauce, and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and bread crumbs. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the chicken mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are golden brown and crispy, and the sauce is bubbling. Serve hot with cooked rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
