Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet baked potatoes, peeled and scooped
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes and chicken: Bake potatoes until tender, about 1 hour at 400°F (205°C). Once cooled, scoop out the potato flesh and reserve the skins if desired as a crisp topping. Meanwhile, cook and shred chicken breast or use pre-cooked chicken for convenience.
  2. Steam the broccoli: Lightly steam broccoli florets until just tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes, to keep bright color and firm texture.
  3. Mix the creamy filling: In a large bowl, combine the potato flesh, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and seasoning salt. Stir well until evenly blended and creamy.
  4. Assemble and bake: Grease a casserole dish and spread the mixture evenly inside. Top with the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and dot with the butter. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
  5. Rest and serve: Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes to set slightly, making it easier to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fluffy Russet potatoes for the creamiest texture.
  • Do not overcook broccoli; steam until tender-crisp to maintain texture and nutrients.
  • Shred chicken finely to distribute protein evenly.
  • Generous cheese topping creates a gooey, golden crust.
  • Allow the casserole to rest before serving to avoid it falling apart.
