  2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and cooked pasta to the bowl, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Notes

  • If you prefer a crunchy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top before baking.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve.
