Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10x10 inch baking dish (1 1/2-2 qt.) with butter or cooking spray.
Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with well salted water; bring to a boil; cook until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes; drain; transfer back to the hot pot.
While potatoes are boiling, steam or roast broccoli until hot and barely softened, with a little bit of a crisp; drain. While cooking the broccoli, cook the bacon; chop or crumble; set aside.
Place pot with potatoes back over the still warm but turned off burner. If using a gas stove, turn heat to the lowest possible setting, helping evaporate any water left in the pot and keeping potatoes nice and fluffy.
Smash potatoes with a potato masher; add butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika; stir to combine.
Add cooked broccoli, chicken, bacon and 1 c. cheese to the pot; stir to mix; transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese has melted and casserole is heated through.
6-8 servings.
