Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breasts
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Steam the broccoli florets until they are just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the cream cheese and heavy cream. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and the cheese sauce. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole!
