Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 4 cups broccoli
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli. Fill a pot with a few inches of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil, add the broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave the broccoli for similar results.

Step 6

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cream cheese and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and blends with the heavy cream.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground paprika. Mix until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

In the prepared baking dish, combine the chopped chicken and broccoli.

Step 9

Pour the cheese sauce over the chicken and broccoli and use a spoon to mix everything together until well coated.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Enjoy your delicious Keto Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole!
