Recipe Tips
For maximum flavor, consider marinating your chicken breasts in a simple brine (salt water solution) for 30 minutes before assembling the casserole. This ensures juicy, well-seasoned chicken throughout. If using fresh broccoli instead of frozen, blanch it for 2 minutes before adding to prevent it from becoming mushy during baking.
