Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Topping
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, heavy cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour in the mixture and spread it out evenly to form a uniform layer.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole mixture to create a flavorful crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the Parmesan topping is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and prevent burns.
Notes
- To keep it keto-friendly, make sure to use full-fat dairy products and avoid adding high-carb ingredients.
- You can substitute shredded chicken with diced rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Steaming the broccoli before mixing ensures it cooks thoroughly and retains a tender texture.
- Feel free to add extra Italian seasoning or fresh herbs like parsley for a flavor boost.
- This casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
