Ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli cuts, cooked and drained
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup non-fat evaporated milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Italian-flavored dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking spray

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Chicken and Broccoli: In a large bowl, combine the cooked and diced chicken with the cooked and drained broccoli cuts. Toss them together until evenly mixed.
Mix the Sauce: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, non-fat evaporated milk, and lemon juice until well combined. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken and broccoli mixture, stirring until everything is coated evenly.
Assemble the Casserole: Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly into the greased baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom of the pan.
Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and broccoli mixture, distributing it evenly.
Top with Bread Crumbs: In a separate bowl, combine the Italian-flavored dry bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake to Perfection: Lightly spray the top of the casserole with cooking spray to help the breadcrumbs crisp up during baking. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown
