Chicken and Broccoli Cheesy Casserole - Low Carb Recipe

Chicken and Broccoli Cheesy Casserole - Low Carb Recipe

Ingredients :

3 cups cubed chicken

16 oz (1lb) bag of frozen broccoli

1 med onion diced (about 1 cup)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 cube chicken bouillon (or 1 tsp bouillon powder)

1/2 cup water (optional, I added this to help disperse the chicken flavoring but the water from the veggies as they cook also would suffice if the dish seems too watery to you)

1 Tbspn olive oil

1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)

1/4 c sour cream

1 cup ricotta

Bacon Grease

Directions :

Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole pan - I used left over bacon grease for added flavor, pan spray would be okay too (just maybe not as tasty ;))

Add broccoli, onion, chicken bouillon, water, olive oil and pepper to a medium frying pan.

Cook covered for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

In a medium bowl mix the chicken chunks, garlic powder, sour cream and ricotta cheese together. Mix till blended.

After 10 minutes of cooking the veggies, pour the broccoli mix into the bowl with the chicken. Stir until blended.

Add 1/4 c of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the mix. Stir.

Transfer your mix to the greased pan and spread evenly.

Add the remaining mozzarella cheese to the top and pop that baby in the oven!

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes.

Once the top layer of cheese is browned a bit it should be done.

If you like your broccoli on the softer side bake until the florets are to your liking.
