FAQ

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

Yes! You can absolutely use frozen broccoli. Just be sure to thaw and drain it well before boiling. You might want to reduce boiling time to 5-7 minutes since frozen broccoli tends to cook faster.

What type of chicken works best for this casserole?

Rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken is ideal because it’s flavorful and already cooked. You can also use poached or grilled chicken—just make sure it’s fully cooked and shredded.

Pro Tips

Don’t overcook the broccoli

Cook the broccoli until just tender (al dente). Overcooked broccoli can become mushy and watery, which affects both texture and taste.

Use room temperature cream cheese

Cold cream cheese can clump in the sauce. Let it sit out for 10-15 minutes or microwave it for 10 seconds to make mixing easier.
