A delightful casserole combining tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and creamy cheese for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the small baby red potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cover and microwave on high for about 4 minutes until they are tender.
Cut the potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, broccoli florets, diced chicken breast, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, skim milk, dried parsley, and minced garlic. Mix well to combine.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly for consistent baking.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps the flavors meld together.
