Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Step 2
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Once cool, cut into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Fold in the cooked chicken and broccoli until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your deliciously low carb chicken and broccoli casserole!
