    Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Casserole

    Chicken casserole in a white oval baking dish with overlay text.

    This easy casserole full of chicken, broccoli, mushrooms and cheese with a crunchy Ritz cracker topping is a comforting dinner that cooks in one dish!

    Chicken casserole topped with crushed crackers in an oval white baking dish beside a black and white checked napkin.

    This casserole uses precooked chicken and staple ingredients that are also budget-friendly.  A major bonus is that just 10 minutes prep time is needed to get it in the baking dish to go into the oven!

    Your Simple Ingredients

    2 cans of soup, shredded cooked chicken, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, eggs, onion, broccoli and a sleeve of crackers.

    I love dinners that include ingredients that I normally have on-hand and this recipe is just that.  It calls for a bag of frozen broccoli florets (chopped into about 1-inch pieces) but I’ve also used baby broccoli florets (they’re smaller so they don’t need chopping).  You can also substitute bread crumbs for the crushed crackers.

    I use only 1/4 teaspoon of salt in this recipe because the soups, cheese and jarred mushrooms add enough salt for my taste, but feel free to add more if you’re a salt lover.

    2 images: First is a bowl of chicken mixture for casserole in a bowl, second is mixture in a baking dish.

    This is such a breeze to throw together!  Simply combine the ingredients (except the cracker topping) in a large bowl, transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove from the oven, add the crushed crackers and bake for an additional 10 minutes.  DINNER = DONE.

    I hope you and your family enjoy this casserole as much as I have over the years!

      I googled ingredients I had at home and this popped up. I did add cooked egg noodles, but otherwise followed it just as you wrote. It was really good! Thank you!

      This recipe is absolutely delicious, I added Penne pasta to it for some added flare, and it was amazing. I cooked the Penne pasta al dente so that way it did not overcook in the oven. I would definitely cook this recipe again.

        That sounds even more delicious. I’m going to try it again with pasta! Should you add a bit more soup to allow for it to not be dry?

        Hi Noreen, I can’t say for sure because I’ve never made this recipe with pasta. Sorry for the delay in responding, we’re recovering from Hurricane Florence. If you tried it with pasta let me know how it turned out! 🙂

      Can I omit the eggs? Is that just to bind it all together?

        Hi Natalie, Yes it’s for binding. I haven’t made this without eggs so I can’t say for sure how it would turn out. Please let me know if you try! 🙂

      I am hoping to make this tomorrow, it sounds wonderful. My only issue is I have a package of 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I don’t buy precooked chicken. I first thought of a chicken divan with the broccoli and mushrooms were extras. I ended up with the chicken in my cart, 8 Oz package of criminI mushrooms, 2 broccoli crowns, 1 block of cream cheese, 8 Oz of sour cream, a bag of shredded sharp cheddar and a bottle of Reisling. Oh yes, onions and and head of garlic. PLEASE, how can I put this together to make magic?

        Hey Kim, this recipe is much different than the ingredients you are speaking of. I have never made a recipe with all of the ingredients you mentioned so I can’t say. The combination sounds delicious, though! 🙂

      Thank you for this. I just found you after searching Google for this recipe and so glad I found it! This is a feel good classic but this was super yummy. I paired it with Jasmine rice because my husband and daughter love it and it was great all around. I will be saving this for use in the future!

        Hi Penny, I’ve never used canned chicken in this recipe so I can’t say for certain how it will turn out.
