How to Make Quick & Easy Chicken Casserole with Broccoli Cheese Soup
Once you have the chicken prepped, add the other three ingredients and it will be on the dinner table in about 45 minutes!
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. If using raw chicken, place the chicken in a skillet prepared with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and black pepper and cook on medium heat. Brown the chicken in a skillet cooking on both sides. Place the cooked chicken in the prepared 8x8 casserole dish.
Step 2: Crush croutons in a plastic bag. Top the chicken with cream of broccoli soup, shredded cheese and crushed seasoned croutons (optional - place broccoli in pan before adding soup). Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and for the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Adjust your cooking time, if necessary, to ensure you reach the proper internal temperature.
