For the casserole

- 298g (~1 ¼ cups) Campbell’s Cream of Broccoli
- 1 pkg. (340g) Stuffing mix, prepared
- 81g (~⅓ cup) sour cream
- 150mL (~⅔ cup) heavy cream
- 100mL (~½ cup) water
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire
- 1 tsp adobo seasoning
- ½ tsp celery salt
- 1 Large grade A egg yolk

Instructions
Step 1: Season the chicken with salt and ground pepper, then let rest at room temperature for 1 hr.
Step 2: When the chicken is done resting, gather all of the remaining ingredients.
Step 3: Chop the broccoli.
Step 4: Peel and dice the onions.
Step 5: Add the cream of chicken, cream of broccoli, Worcestershire, adobo seasoning, celery salt, and egg yolk.
Step 6: Add the sour cream.
Step 7: Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 8: Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C then heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 mins.
Add the chicken.
Step 9: Cook the chicken, flipping every 2 mins, until browned. About 10 mins.
Step 10: Remove the chicken to the bowl with the broccoli mixture and leave the skillet on the heat with the fond.
Step 11: Add the water.
Step 12: Bring to a simmer, scraping and stirring to release the fond from the bottom of the pan.
Step 13: Add the skillet liquid to the chicken and broccoli mixture.
Step 14: Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 15: Prepare the stuffing according to package directions and add to a lightly greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish.
Step 16: Using a spatula, press the stuffing down.
Step 18: Cook in the preheated oven until browned on the edges. About 25 mins, set aside (leave the oven on for the next steps).
Step 19: Grate the amount of medium cheddar you would like to top the casserole with. I used 125g (~1 cup) of freshly shredded cheese.
Step 20: Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture on top of the stuffing in the baking dish.
Step 21: Top with the cheese.
Step 22: Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 mins.
