Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
Dairy & Sauces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Prepare Broccoli: If using fresh broccoli, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, then drain well. For frozen broccoli, thaw and drain off excess moisture to prevent a watery bake.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, prepared broccoli, heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the creamy mixture.
- Grease Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid in browning.
- Assemble Bake: Spread the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella cheese on top to add extra cheesy flavor and a golden crust when baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes to set, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting keto meal.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken speeds up preparation for a convenient meal.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Cauliflower can be substituted for broccoli to vary the vegetable while keeping it low-carb.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can freeze the assembled dish before baking for up to 2 months for an easy make-ahead meal.
