Spread steamed broccoli evenly in the baking dish. Layer the cooked chicken over the broccoli. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and optional breadcrumbs on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
