How to cook deliciously - Ranch Chicken Potato Casserole

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400ᵒ. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water by 1", and stir in 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Cook potatoes until easily pierced with a fork but not falling apart, 7 to 8 minutes. Place broccoli in a colander and drain potatoes over top.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix onion powder, garlic powder, dill, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a large bowl, toss chicken, 1 tablespoon spice mix, and 1 teaspoon salt until coated.

3. Stage

In a large wide saucepan or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add panko and 1 teaspoon spice mix and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4. Stage

In same pot over medium-high heat, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add chicken and garlic and cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink but not fully cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over and stir to coat chicken. Slowly pour in broth, stirring, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

5. Stage

Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese and 1 teaspoon spice mix until cream cheese is melted and smooth. Add potatoes and broccoli, tossing until combined and coated in sauce. Remove pot from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 13" x 9" baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar and bread crumbs over.

6. Stage

Bake casserole until edges are bubbling and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

7. Stage

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons spice blend, and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Thin with 2 to 3 teaspoons of water until loose enough to drizzle; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle some sauce over casserole. Serve remaining sauce alongside.
