Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth and combined.
  6. Add shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly with the cheese sauce.
  8. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and heated through.
  10. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker casserole, you can add a tablespoon of psyllium husk powder to the cheese sauce.
  • This casserole is freezer-friendly. Let it cool completely, then portion into airtight containers. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • You can substitute cauliflower florets for broccoli if preferred.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the sauce.
