Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole combines pasta with shredded chicken, broccoli, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese and ranch seasoning to make a totally irresistible casserole.
Ingredients You Need
The recipe below is cooked in a casserole pan in the oven. It takes only about 20 minutes. However, you can also cook it in the microwave in just 8 minutes.
The ingredients you need are:
- Chicken breast
- Ranch seasoning mix
- Softened Cream cheese (set this out 15 minutes before you prepare)
- Cheddar Cheese
- Cooked Bacon
- Green Onions
- Pasta
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
Alternatives To Try
If you don’t like broccoli or mushrooms, you can either leave them out or substitute for other veggies. We also like this casserole with cauliflower and cubed potatoes.
Try different pasta shapes. Some of the pasta we think works really well:
- Macaroni
- Shells
- Rigatoni
- Penne
- Farfalle
For a real change, try stuffing the mixture into large cooked shells and topping with cheese. It’s amazing!
For a keto friendly version, leave the pasta out of the recipe and increase the amount of broccoli. You can cook it for the same amount of time.

OH this is the kind of food I love to eat on the sofa watching my favorite show and not thinking about calories whatsoever! This is just what I need right now.
Ooh, this looks like such a comforting and filling dinner! I love the combination of creamy ranch flavor with the pasta and broccoli, and can’t wait to try.
The combination of the ranch flavor, bacon and broccoli is spot on! We loved this recipe!
When I say we think alike!!! I always serve it over pasta WITH BROCCOLI MIXED IN too!!! I will be saving your recipe for quick references when I forget how to make it and need advice. Thank you!!
I made this for dinner last night kind of as a last minute thing. I had precooked Costco chicken and was looking for something to make with it. My family loved it! I cooked the bacon and left it to be sprinkled on top since one person wasn’t into bacon. It was amazing! I will definitely make it again.
If I needed to make more than 4 servings would I double everything? I need more like 10 servings
Yes, just double the recipe. Enjoy!
