Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 large chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
- 150g broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon mixed herbs
- 400g cream of chicken soup
- 50g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10g chopped parsley (optional)
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways, creating four thinner pieces.
This allows the chicken to cook more evenly and quickly.
Step 2: Arrange Ingredients in the Casserole Dish
Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil into the base of your casserole dish or oven-proof pan to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken pieces on top of the oiled base.
Distribute the broccoli florets around the chicken pieces in the dish.
Step 3: Season and Add Soup
Sprinkle paprika and mixed herbs over the chicken and broccoli.
Season with a small pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper.
Pour your canned Cream of Chicken Soup over the chicken and broccoli, optionally adding 50ml of chicken stock if you want to loosen up the sauce.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Bake
Sprinkle your preferred cheese all over the chicken, broccoli, and Cream of Chicken Soup for added flavor and creaminess.
Cover the dish with kitchen foil to help the ingredients cook thoroughly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes covered, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes to allow the cheese to brown and become bubbly.
Step 5: Serve
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top for extra color and flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, cheesy chicken and broccoli bake!
