This Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole is for one of those days when you need a quick and healthy and wholesome meal to serve your family.

That day that you have to feed everyone and be out the door in 1/2 hour…. or how about when mom is recovering from a bad cold and has no energy left to spend in the kitchen…. or when you are trying to get extra home schooling in so you can have a break next week… you get it. Life is full of crazy days and all you can do is roll with it, but knowing you fed your family something healthy, and bellies are happy and full, is always a good feeling.

What I like best about this Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole is that it uses pre-cooked chicken! Moms, be sure to check out our post on 10 Reasons Why I Have Cooked Chicken in My Freezer .
