Notes

To elevate this simple casserole, consider poaching the chicken in seasoned chicken stock instead of water for richer flavor. For the sauce, briefly sauté some finely minced shallots or garlic before stirring in the condensed soup and mayonnaise. This adds aromatic depth. A blend of cheeses, such as a sharp white cheddar with a touch of Gruyère, can also enhance complexity. For a crispier, more golden topping, lightly toast the dry stuffing mix with a tablespoon of melted butter in a skillet before sprinkling it over the casserole. Ensure your broccoli is cooked to al dente; overcooked broccoli can become mushy.
