Easy Chicken Bake Recipe
Of all my recipes, this is a top 5 favorite simply because it is so easy and delicious. Leftovers hold up, and this Easy Chicken Bake goes a long way when served with white rice. Easy, economical and tasty comfort food.
I put this together 30+ years ago – probably based on some other chicken and chicken soup recipe. I have mainly served this over white rice, but it is good with mashed potatoes too. A bit of bread completes the meal!
Notes:
● You can substitute frozen peas for the broccoli.
● You can add mushrooms too!
● Or mix up broccoli, peas, and mushrooms.
● Fresh broccoli works well if you have it (instead of the frozen).
● When this Chicken Bake recipe cooked, it forms a slight “crust” at the pan’s edge and will be bubbling. It is hot!
● The leftovers will keep for up to 2 days before the soup and milk start to separate.

● 1½ lbs Chicken Breast, trimmed and cubed

Easy Chicken Bake Instructions:

I love this recipe but I don’t eat anything green. Not good for me, that is why there is only one green ice cream.

Any idea why this would have completely separated? I made it just like the directions said, and when I took it out it was completely separated and we had to throw it out. I can’t figure out what I may have done wrong!
Ann says
Hi Karen,
I’ve had it separate on a re-heat, but a quick stir fixes that. Completely separating on cooking and having to throw it out? That is a new one to me (and I’ve been making this for 30 years).

I was so excited for this recipe but, like another reviewer, my “sauce” also separated. I could deal with that, as stirring helped some but… This meal was BLAND. If I make it again, I’ll DEFINITELY try adding seasonings. Thank you for the recipe, however!

Quite tasty! Did a mix of broccoli and peas, and topped with some French fried onions I had hanging in my pantry 10 minutes before it finished baking. Very easy, no fuss.
