Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool before slicing.
- In boiling water, blanch the broccoli florets for about 2 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- Layer sliced chicken in the prepared baking dish, followed by blanched broccoli. Pour the sauce over everything and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown on top. Serve warm.
