Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy sauce base.
- Add Main Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the sauce mixture, ensuring they are well incorporated.
- Assemble Casserole: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading evenly.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and all the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole cool slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can swap broccoli with cauliflower for a different keto-friendly vegetable.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
- Make sure the broccoli is steamed but not mushy to keep some texture.
- Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
