Instructions
Put a pan of water on to boil and cook your broccoli florets and cook your chicken breasts if you're not using pre cooked chicken
Heat your oven to either 190c or 375f depending on your oven and grease a baking dish with the butter to stop the bake sticking
Add the cooked broccoli to the baking dish evenly on the bottom layer of the dish and then add the torn cooked chicken on top of the broccoli
Pour the cheese sauce over the top in an even layer and then season with salt and pepper
In a bowl, add the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic powder if you're using it and olive oil and use your hands to mix the crumb topping together making sure the oil is well worked into the mixture
Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the bake and cook for 20 minutes until the top is golden and you can se the cheese sauce bubbling around the edges
