Ingredients
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup crushed buttery crackers
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth.
Add shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the ranch mixture.
Fold in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a small bowl, mix crushed buttery crackers with melted butter until combined.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the casserole.
Top with the buttery cracker mixture for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
