Scale

Main Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cooked chicken, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, shredded cheese, cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a creamy, flavorful mixture.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly to prevent sticking and transfer the combined mixture into it, spreading evenly.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown, indicating the casserole is fully heated through and deliciously melted.
Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly and make for easier serving.

Notes

You can substitute the cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for variety.
Use your favorite cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for different flavors.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
For a dairy-free version, substitute cheese and cream with dairy-free alternatives.
