3 cups cooked, shredded chicken ๐Ÿ—
4 cups broccoli florets ๐Ÿฅฆ
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ๐Ÿง€
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese ๐Ÿง€
1 1/2 cups heavy cream ๐Ÿฅ›
1/2 cup sour cream ๐Ÿฅ„
2 cloves garlic, minced ๐Ÿง„
1/2 teaspoon onion powder ๐Ÿง…
1/2 teaspoon paprika ๐ŸŒถ
Salt and pepper to taste ๐Ÿง‚
2 tablespoons unsalted butter ๐Ÿงˆ
Fresh parsley for garnish ๐ŸŒฟ

๐——๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Grease a 9ร—13 inch casserole dish to prevent sticking, making sure to cover the sides and corners for an easy cleanup later ๐Ÿงฝ.

2. Blanch the broccoli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil ๐Ÿ’ง. Add the broccoli florets ๐Ÿฅฆ and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they turn bright green and are tender but still crisp. This will ensure they stay vibrant and donโ€™t turn mushy during baking. Quickly drain and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process โ„๏ธ. Set aside.

3. Sautรฉ the garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter ๐Ÿงˆ. Add the minced garlic ๐Ÿง„ and sautรฉ until fragrant and just starting to turn golden, about 1 minute ๐Ÿณ. This step adds a deep flavor to your casserole base.

4. Make the creamy sauce: Slowly stir in the heavy cream ๐Ÿฅ› and sour cream ๐Ÿฅ„ into the skillet with the garlic. Whisk continuously to avoid lumps, creating a smooth and rich sauce. Add the onion powder ๐Ÿง…, paprika ๐ŸŒถ, salt, and pepper ๐Ÿง‚. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon ๐Ÿ’ซ.

6. Assemble the casserole: Transfer the creamy chicken and broccoli mixture into the prepared casserole dish ๐Ÿฅ˜. Spread it out evenly, making sure the sauce reaches all corners. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese ๐Ÿง€ evenly over the top, followed by the Parmesan cheese ๐Ÿง€. This cheesy topping will melt and form a golden, bubbly crust during baking ๐Ÿ˜‹.

7. Bake to golden perfection: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes โฒ๏ธ, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Youโ€™ll know itโ€™s ready when the edges are bubbling, and the cheese is perfectly crisp.

8. Serve and garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley ๐ŸŒฟ for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, cheesy delight!
