Onion powder: This enhances the flavors of the other ingredients while also adding a bit more taste. Broccoli florets: I use frozen broccoli florets. Defrost them before using them in this recipe.

When is the chicken done? Chicken is done and ready to eat when the internal temperature is at 165 degrees farenheit. You can stick a meat thermometer in to make sure that it’s done!Thick chicken breast: If you have thick chicken breasts then go ahead and slice them in half for this recipe. This will help them cook faster and more evenly. Let it rest: Once you pull your chicken out of the oven, it’s almost time to eat but not quite! Let your chicken rest for about 5 minutes. This allows all of the juices and sauces to be absorbed into the chicken making it super moist and juicy!

Refrigerate: Once your chicken has cooled down then place it in an airtight container. Put it in your fridge and it will stay good for about 3-4 days.Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once it has reached temperature then put your leftover broccoli cheddar chicken in a cassserole dish and place it in the oven to cook for abot 20-30 minutes or until heated throughout. It is ready to eat when the chicken reaches 165 degrees!
