  • - Large skillet (optional for precooking chicken)
  • - Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • - 4 medium russet potatoes diced into 1-inch cubes
  • - 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • - 2 cups broccoli florets
  • - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • - 1 cup sour cream
  • - 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • - 1/4 cup milk
  • - 1 tsp garlic powder
  • - 1 tsp onion powder
  • - 1 tsp paprika
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • #### 1. Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • #### 2. Roast the Potatoes
  • Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking dish.
  • Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
  • #### 3. Prepare the Broccoli
  • While the potatoes are roasting, blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then drain and set aside. Alternatively, steam the broccoli until crisp-tender.
  • #### 4. Make the Sauce
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  • #### 5. Assemble the Casserole
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and layer the cooked chicken evenly over the top.
  • Spread the broccoli over the chicken.
  • Pour the prepared sauce over the layers, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top.
  • #### 6. Bake the Casserole
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • #### 7. Serve
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
