Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 cups broccoli florets

Dairy and Seasoning

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the correct baking temperature for even cooking.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked shredded chicken, broccoli florets, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well to ensure the cream cheese and heavy cream coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Then transfer the mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until it becomes bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a cheese blend if preferred.
For added crunch, sprinkle crushed pork rinds or almond flour on top before baking.
Use fresh or frozen broccoli florets but make sure to drain any excess moisture if using frozen.
Adjust garlic and onion powder according to your taste preferences.
To make this dish dairy-free, substitute heavy cream and cream cheese with coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives.
This recipe can easily be doubled for meal prep and reheats well in the microwave or oven.
