Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 2 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked pasta like rotini or penne
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, broccoli, cooked pasta, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and chicken broth until well blended.
  4. Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken and broccoli mix, ensuring everything is well coated.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and if you’re using breadcrumbs, add them for that crunch.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  8. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish if desired.
