The ingredients

Notes on Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Baby Potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well.
  • Cream of Chicken Soup: If you prefer homemade, you can make your own using a roux, chicken broth, and milk.
  • Sour Cream: Greek yogurt is a great substitute for a healthier option.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Feel free to mix in mozzarella or Monterey Jack for extra cheesiness.

Tips for Success

  • Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.

  • Add cooked bacon or ham for extra flavor.

Recipe Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
  • Extra Crunch: Top with panko breadcrumbs before baking for a crispy finish.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use coconut cream instead of sour cream and dairy-free cheese.
  • Low-Carb Option: Swap potatoes for cauliflower florets.

What to Serve With Chicken Broccoli Potato Casserole

This casserole is a complete meal on its own, but you can pair it with:

  • A light side salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
  • Garlic bread or dinner rolls for a comforting touch.
