- 1.5 lbs cooked chicken (cubed or shredded)

- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 0.5 tablespoon garlic powder

- 4 ounces sour cream

Instructions
- Get Ready: If you're baking right away, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You can also prepare this ahead and chill it in the fridge for a day or two!
- Whip the Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, dried minced onion, parsley, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it's smooth and well combined.
- Mix it Up: Gently fold in the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of the bacon crumbles into the creamy mixture. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble: Pour this delicious mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish that's been lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Top it Off: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the last 2 tablespoons of bacon crumbles evenly over the top.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly hot and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
