Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups broccoli florets fresh
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken pieces until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Steam the broccoli florets for 3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain well and add to the baking dish with the chicken.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and bubbling.
  • Remove the sauce from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  • Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli in the baking dish. Toss gently to combine.
  • Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
