Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Make the Creamy Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Stir in the chicken, broccoli (if using), and half of the crumbled bacon.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Top with shredded cheese and remaining bacon.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden top, broil 2–3 minutes extra.
Step 5: Serve
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving for a firmer texture.
Tips & Variations
Add smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne for a smoky, spicy kick.
Swap broccoli for cauliflower, spinach, or zucchini to change up the veggies.
Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and Monterey Jack for extra creaminess.
