A delicious and comforting casserole combining tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and creamy cheese sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and cook them in a skillet until fully cooked.
Season the chicken with your favorite spices for added flavor.
Steam the broccoli until tender but still vibrant green.
Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain its texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of celery soup.
Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth sauce.
Layer the broccoli in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Spread the broccoli evenly for consistent layers.
Add the cooked chicken on top of the broccoli.
Distribute the chicken evenly for balanced bites.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it evenly.
Ensure the sauce covers all the ingredients for a creamy texture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the crispy French fried onions on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the onions at the end to keep them crispy.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Cooling helps the casserole set for easier serving.
