It is chock full of chicken and broccoli, cheese, and just enough pasta to pull it all together!
This casserole is perfect for those busy weeknights and just as good the next day at work! The classic as the combination of chicken and broccoli is perfect in a stir fry and of course in this casserole.
How to Make Chicken Broccoli Casserole
Chicken broccoli noodle casserole can be made with a variety of different pasta. Why not try penne, rotelle, bowtie, or cavatappi? Choose heartier types of pasta that can hold their own with chicken and broccoli. Remove from oven and serve with cheesy breadsticks for the perfect weeknight meal!
Ingredients and Variations
The sky is the limit here, really!
SAUCE This is intended to be a quickie meal and it starts with a jar of alfredo sauce but just like my chicken spaghetti, I’ve included a variation to create a ‘from scratch’ sauce too. If you have a favorite chicken alfredo sauce, use that. CHICKEN Swap out chicken for leftover ham or turkey. Even ground chicken will work. BROCCOLI While broccoli is the star of this dish, add in sliced mushrooms, peas, green beans or diced carrots – or add all of them together! CHEDDAR Broccoli and cheddar are a classic pairing and swiss adds a bit of tang. Of course the cheese can be swapped out for whatever is in your fridge.
Serve With…
A hearty dish like this one calls for some amazing dinner rolls (or garlic toast) for dipping into the cheesy sauce and a fresh salad to offset the rich flavors.
Got Leftovers?
Chicken broccoli casserole actually tastes better the next day, if that’s even possible!
To Store, just cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it from absorbing the odors from the other items in the refrigerator. Reheat by popping it back into the oven, or scoop out a portion and reheat in the microwave.
Perfect for the second night of dinners or an easy take-to-work lunch!
