7. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
8. Tip: For a smoother sauce, shred the cheese yourself instead of using pre-shredded, which can contain anti-caking agents.
9. Once the casserole base is done baking, pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce.
11. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
12. Tip: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to set for easier serving.
13. Tip: If the top isn’t browning to your liking, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
Enjoy this warm, hearty dish straight from the oven—it’s creamy, cheesy, and packed with savory flavors. Each bite offers tender chicken, soft potatoes, and crisp-tender broccoli in a rich cheddar sauce. Try serving it with a side salad or crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that delicious sauce.
