Satisfy your cravings with a delicious and nutritious Savory Chicken and Broccoli Bake tonight!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the onions are ready, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken cool slightly before dicing it into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, cream of chicken soup, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the dish to set.
