Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden.
Steam Broccoli: While the potatoes bake, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until just tender, then drain and set aside.
Mix Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, sour cream, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well incorporated.
Assemble Casserole: Once the potatoes are done, remove the baking dish from the oven and evenly spread the chicken and broccoli mixture over the baked potatoes. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired.
Bake Casserole: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cheese has melted.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped green onions if using, and serve warm.

Notes

Use leftover rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
Add crumbled bacon or crushed crackers on top for extra crunch.
