Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add diced potatoes and boil for about 5–7 minutes until just fork-tender.
Drain and set aside.
✅ 3. Mix the Casserole Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, parboiled potatoes, broccoli, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half the bacon.
Stir until well combined.
✅ 4. Assemble and Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and the rest of the bacon.

Uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
✅ 5. Garnish and Serve
Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions, chives, or parsley for a fresh finish.
