Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Layer Chicken and Broccoli: Arrange cubed chicken and broccoli florets evenly in the dish.
  • Make the Creamy Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, cooking for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously. Cook until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese until smooth.
  • Assemble the Dish: Pour the cheese sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Ensure all ingredients are well-covered.
  • Add the Topping: Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  • Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or additional veggies and use vegetable broth.
