Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 4 cups broccoli florets, blanched
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sautรฉ until fragrant.
- Lower the heat to medium, then pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
- Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and all of the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheeses melt and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Season the sauce with onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
- Add the cooked and shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the creamy sauce until it’s well coated.
- Place the blanched broccoli florets evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the chicken and creamy sauce mixture over the broccoli in the baking dish, spreading it out to cover the broccoli completely.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
- Bake the Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
Note: You can blanch the broccoli by placing it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then transferring it to an ice-cold water bath to stop the cooking process. This ensures the broccoli stays vibrant and crisp in the casserole.
