Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and dicing them into small cubes. Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the chicken mixture in a large bowl by combining chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Create the creamy sauce by mixing chicken broth and milk (or cream) in a separate bowl, then pour it over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Combine everything together until well mixed, then transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cheese the casserole by sprinkling shredded Cheddar cheese generously over the top.
- Bake covered with aluminum foil for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Great with a green salad and pairs well with white or light red wine.
