How to Make Chicken Broccoli Casserole For Freezer

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two casseroles (2-qt and 3-qt) with foil, spraying with cooking spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 lb broccoli florets and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Evenly distribute the cooked broccoli into both prepared casseroles.
  4. Layer 2 cups of cooked and cubed chicken on top of the broccoli in each casserole.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup, 1 cup mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  6. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken in each casserole.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  9. Flash freeze for 2-3 hours, uncovered.
  10. Remove casseroles from freezer. Wrap tightly in freezer-safe bags, label with date, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  11. To reheat: Thaw casserole overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
