Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Steam the broccoli florets until they are just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 6
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Step 8
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and the cheese sauce. Mix until well combined.
Step 9
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 10
Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole!
