Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I love starting with a little organization, so I gather all my ingredients and equipment first. Next, if you’re using fresh broccoli, it’s best to steam or microwave them for just a few minutes until slightly tender. If frozen, you can simply thaw them in the microwave. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and whisk until it’s smooth and creamy. This sauce is absolutely divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
