Baked Potato Chicken and Broccoli Casserole 凜復

Ingredients:

3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces

4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

1 cup sour cream

– 1 teaspoon kosher salt

teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder

teaspoon paprika

1 medium-sized broccoli crown about 2-3 cups bite-sized florets

3 cups cooked chicken, chopped

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 cups shredded cheese, divided

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 350F 175C and grease a 10-inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray.


Prepare the Potatoes:

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot.

Cook the Broccoli:

While the potatoes are boiling, steam or roast the broccoli until it is hot and just tender but still slightly crisp. Drain any excess liquid.

Cook the Bacon:

Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop or crumble it and set aside.

Mash the Potatoes:

Keep the pot with the potatoes on the warm but turned-off burner. If using a gas stove, turn the heat to the lowest setting to evaporate any remaining water and keep the mashed potatoes fluffy. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, then mix in the butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika until well combined.

Combine Ingredients:

Stir in the cooked broccoli, chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of shredded cheese into the potato mixture until everything is thoroughly combined.

Transfer and Bake:

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.

Serve and Enjoy:

Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious and comforting dish!
