Easy Chicken Broccoli Bake is perfect for any night of the week! Only a few ingredients and a great use for leftover or rotisserie chicken! A delicious dinner in less than 30 minutes!
I love recipes like this. I arrive home with a rotisserie chicken or knowing I have enough leftover chicken in my fridge from the night before. Anyone else ever bake extra chicken just so they have some extra for the next night? I do that regularly and this recipe is one of the recipes I make the next day!
It took me years to become a better food planner! This is another one of those things I wish I learned when I was younger. My life would have gone so much easier, that is for sure!
This recipe has two different topping options. Honestly, in my opinion, both are delicious. One uses cheese crackers and the other crispy fried onions. I can't wait to hear which topping you prefer as I can't decide which is better!
