Mod Mom Furniture shares her secret to getting her family to eat broccoli. Chicken Broccoli Casserole is simple to make and only takes seven ingredients. As with any recipe, start by preheating the oven to 375°F (191°C). The casserole is built in layers. The first is broccoli and can be made from either one head of fresh broccoli or one bag of frozen broccoli. Whichever you choose to use, steam it before placing it into the 9x13 pan.
The second layer is the chicken. If you choose to use a roasted chicken, be sure to have shredded it before placing it on top of the broccoli. Another option would be to use one large can of chicken.
