How to Make Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through. You can boil, bake, or use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Shred the chicken.
  3. Steam or boil 1 large head of broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup chicken broth.
  5. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the shredded chicken, then the broccoli.
  6. Pour the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  7. Top with 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon, and 1/4 cup chopped onion.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
