The return of cooler weather means a return to the comfort food I love to make. This chicken and broccoli casserole has been a family favorite for a long time. Served with a side of rice or macaroni and cheese, this dish satisfies everyone’s appetite.
This meal can be prepped ahead of time and kept in the fridge for 2-3 days before you need it. You can also cook the chicken and broccoli ahead of time to minimize the time it takes to prep. Either way, this meal is delicious!
You can choose to make this recipe with Miracle Whip or mayo depending on your personal preference. Also, I LOVE cheese, especially melted cheese, so you may or may not want to use a full 2 cups in your casserole.
If you have small children who don’t like their food to touch (I speak from experience here), simply leave out some of the chicken and broccoli and serve it separately.
