Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. Cooked Chicken, Chopped

  • 2/3 cup Condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit, getting it ready to work its magic.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, bring together the stars of our casserole show – the chopped cooked chicken and the cooked, drained broccoli. These two ingredients will be the foundation of our delectable dish.
  3. Pour in the lean chicken soup and condensed milk, infusing the mixture with creaminess and flavor. Add a touch of garlic powder to enhance the savory notes. Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
  4. Now, let’s assemble our casserole. In a well-greased 9×13 baking dish, layer the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly across the bottom.
  5. The next act in our culinary performance features the star of dairy delights – low-fat cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the chicken and broccoli, creating a comforting and cheesy layer that will melt into perfection.
