Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Once cool, cut into small bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Fold in the cooked chicken and broccoli until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your deliciously low carb chicken and broccoli casserole!
