Chicken Broccoli Casserole is the perfect weeknight meal and can be ready in 30 minutes! A family favorite made with homemade condensed soup!
This chicken and broccoli casserole is such a popular recipe that I had to make new photos to show you how great this is! It’s something my family makes all of the time because of how easy and quick it is. If you like to meal prep on the weekend, there are a few steps you can do in advance! A tried a true weeknight dinner recipe that can be made in 30 minutes, my favorite.
Casseroles are comfort foods for me, and this one does not disappoint. One of the things I do not like about many casserole recipes is using canned condensed soup. It always has strange ingredients I cannot pronounce and do not feel good serving it to my family. Instead, I made my condensed soup, and you will be shocked at how easy it truly is. Only a few essential pantry/fridge ingredients are needed and can be made ahead of time to make this a quick and delicious weeknight meal.
