Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken pieces until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add cream cheese and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan to the cream mixture, stirring until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, and the cheese sauce. Mix until the broccoli and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy and delicious keto chicken and broccoli casserole!
