Ingredients

Below I discuss the ingredients and possible substitutions in case you don’t have a specific ingredient. However, if you are looking for the specific measurements of each ingredient, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this article, just above the comments, for the printable recipe card, which includes all the ingredients and the specific amounts of each one.

  • Potatoes– Feel free to use any type of potatoes for this hearty casserole. Examples include baby potatoes, russet potatoes, white potatoes, or even sweet potatoes.
  • Chicken Breasts – This recipe can use leftover chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken.
  • Broccoli florets –  They add crunch and flavor to the recipe.
  • Bacon – I used thick-cut bacon for this recipe, but you can use your favorite kind. Store-bought bacon bits will also work if you are in a rush.
  • Bell pepper – Any color bell pepper will work for this recipe.
  • Cream of chicken soup – I used store-bought cream of chicken soup, but you can use homemade cream of chicken soup. This type of soup adds creaminess to the casserole. I used No Salt Added Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup because I find the other kinds too salty.
  • Chicken broth – This adds moisture to the casserole. This recipe can use any type of chicken broth or chicken stock.
  • Salt and black pepper – Add these to taste.
  • Spices – Feel free to use your favorite spices. I used onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian Seasoning.
  • Cheese – I used cheddar cheese for this recipe, but you can also use Mexican blend, Parmesan cheese, or Monterey Jack.
  • Green onions – Green onions are optional. You can use parsley instead.

How To Make Chicken Broccoli Potato Casserole?

  1. Toss your diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
  2. Spread the seasoned potatoes in the prepared baking dish, and bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. In a large bowl, place the chicken, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
  4. Stir the chicken to cover it thoroughly with the seasoning.
  5. Transfer the raw chicken to a skillet over medium heat until the pieces are cooked through and golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes per side.
  6. Add broccoli and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until tender.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk the cream of chicken soup with the chicken broth until the sauce becomes smooth.
  8. Pour the creamy sauce on top of the cooked potatoes.
  9. Top them with about a cup of cheese.
  10. Layer your tender chicken and veggie mix on top of the cheese.
  11. Sprinkle cheese and bacon generously over the casserole.
  12. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheddar cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let your cheesy chicken potato casserole rest for 10 minutes before garnishing it with green onions. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a side salad.

Recipe Tips

  • Say No To A Soggy Casserole – Drain the broccoli well before adding it to the casserole to prevent a soggy casserole.
  • Potatoes – Instead of baking the potatoes, you can cook them in the air fryer, instant pot, or frying pan until they become tender.
  • Chicken – I recommend using boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they are easy to shred and are quick to cook.

Variations

  • Gluten-Free – You can make this easy chicken potato casserole recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free cream of chicken soup.
  • Vegetarian – You can make this casserole vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth and not using chicken or bacon.
  • Meats – You can use other types of meat, such as turkey, fish, or tofu.

What To Serve With Chicken and Potato Casserole?

You can serve this hearty dish with a side salad, green vegetables, or corn. Here are a few of my favorites to serve with it!

  • Chopped Vegetable Salad – Vegetable Chopped Salad is a light and refreshing salad recipe loaded with juicy fresh vegetables and salad greens.
  • Marinated Green Bean Salad – Can be made ahead of time and served cold with the casserole.
  • Frito Crack Corn Salad – With sweet corn, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and chili cheese Fritos in a Ranch-flavored creamy dressing.

      Hi Marilyn,

      A serving size is 1/6th of the recipe. So it would be between a little over 1 cup per serving, maybe 1.25 cups.

      Thanks,

      Michele
