Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together cream of chicken concentrate and ¼ cup warm water (½ cup for 4 servings).
In oven-ready tray, toss broccoli with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4, divide broccoli between two trays, using a drizzle of oil for each tray.)
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Arrange chicken on top of broccoli. Pour cream of chicken mixture over chicken and broccoli. Sprinkle chicken with Monterey Jack and panko, pressing to adhere. Top with a drizzle of oil. (For 4 servings, divide ingredients evenly between two trays, using a drizzle of oil for each tray.)
Roast on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until broccoli is tender and chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast two trays side by side on top rack.)
When chicken and broccoli are almost done, halve and toast ciabatta until golden brown. Immediately spread with 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings); halve ciabatta on a diagonal.
Divide chicken and broccoli between plates. Drizzle chicken with as much hot honey as you like. Serve with ciabatta toast on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I love the convenience of cooking everything in one pan. The prep was super easy. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The broccoli was cooked perfect. I added garlic salt to the ciabatta bread with the butter. Everything was delicious.
Plenty of broccoli to make a substantial veg serving, THANK YOU! And the sauce was just enough to be flavorful without either being thick and gloopy or too runny and making everything soggy. I love these aluminum pan recipes, they are easy and delicious!
Baking the chicken over the Broccoli gives a new great flavor to the Broccoli as the juices drip down while cooking. We liked this.
There is just something delicious about the broccoli after being cooked under the chicken and with chicken stock. Delicious!
Can't go wrong with chicken and broccoli but bread was different from pic and didn't toast the same. Still good though
Yes, the chicken was so moist...delicious. On the recipe sheet I always look for the temperature of meat when done. It's very important to me and prevents dry, tough meat.
3 very good meals. I added some bite sized Sweet Potato with the Broccoli.
Broccoli have fantastic flavor. Chicken shockingly not so much considering there's garlic powder and the chicken stock panko and cheese. The directions could be clearer on whether you put the panko first or the cheese and it's hard because some of the cheese falls off onto the broccoli which is good for the broccoli but leaves the chicken naked. Flavor of mine might have been changed because The chicken stock concentrate was missing and I had to Google how to make a roux to make the cream of chicken concentrate sauce.
This dish was very good, but I wouldn't say it was "cheesy." Maybe if the cheese was a slice instead of shredded? It seemed to disappear and I couldn't taste it. But is a very easy, fast & healthy recipe!
Cooking it in the aluminum tray made the broccoli soggy and the chicken chewy. If I order this again, I would cook it on a cookie sheet for more crispness.
