Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 3 cups Broccoli florets, steamed
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Almond flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Steam the broccoli florets until tender but still bright green, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the almond flour and cook for 2 minutes until lightly golden and bubbly.

Step 4

Add the softened cream cheese and heavy cream to the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Layer the shredded chicken evenly at the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Top with the steamed broccoli florets, spreading them evenly over the chicken.

Step 7

Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the chicken and broccoli, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and golden on top.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
