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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, then pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. Season the sauce with onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
  6. Add the cooked and shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the creamy sauce until it’s well coated.
  7. Place the blanched broccoli florets evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  8. Pour the chicken and creamy sauce mixture over the broccoli in the baking dish, spreading it out to cover the broccoli completely.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
  10. 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.
  11. Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  12. 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.
