Ingredients
3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
10 oz egg noodles
3 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2½ cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Step by Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside. Steam or blanch the broccoli for about 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still bright green. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for one minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. In a large bowl, combine cooked noodles, shredded chicken, and broccoli. Pour the cheese sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest for five minutes before serving.
