Quick and Easy Chicken Broccoli casserole

There is nothing I like more than a home cooked meal that you know has taken a long of time and and love to prepare..but hey let's face reality, sometimes life just gets in the way and you just don't have time to make an elaborate meal..especially during the week.

I actually felt like I was cheating when I made this recipe, but I knew I needed a meal I could throw together quickly and something I could let cook in the oven while me and the BF went for a quick run after work.

The weather is turning into that cool fall weather so I knew I also wanted some warm and homey to look forward to eating after our run.

So looking for a quick throw together recipe, I went to my allrecipes app and looked for Chicken Broccoli Casseroles and made some adjustments to the recipe I found on allrecipes since I want to make something that was more chicken pot pie like.


Ingredients
1/2 lb skinless chicken breast cubed (you don't have to cook this beforehand)
1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli florets
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 (10.75) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 cup skim milk or chicken broth
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 roll flakey refrigerated biscuit (like hungry jack flakey biscuits or whatever your choice of buscuit

In large bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli, and cheese. (I had half a green pepper leftover so I added this as well)Whisk the soup, milk, garlic powder and pepper.Stir in chicken mixture. Transfer into greased 1-1/2 quart baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes. Open biscuits, separate each biscuit in half and layer on top. Bake for an additional 25 minutes.
