Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken broth with the cooked chicken, ensuring it is well mixed to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats, butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish generously to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, mince the garlic and mix it with the sour cream, 1/4 cup of milk, chopped onion, and prepared mustard until smooth and creamy.
- Season the sliced potatoes with salt and pepper, allowing the seasoning to enhance their natural flavor.
- In the prepared baking dish, layer 1/3 of the sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom, followed by half of the cooked chicken and broccoli, and half of the creamy sour cream mixture.
- Repeat the layering process, adding another 1/3 of the potatoes, the remaining chicken and broccoli, and the rest of the sour cream mixture.
- Finish with the remaining potatoes on top. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of milk over the entire dish, then drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle generously with Romano cheese for a delightful crust.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the margarine and breadcrumbs until well combined, then spread this mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes to create a crunchy topping.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm for a hearty meal that your family will adore.
Enjoy this Chicken and Potato Au Gratin as a delightful main dish that pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or your favorite side vegetable, making it an ultimate comfort food for any occasion!
