Low Carb Chicken Broccoli Casserole

By á-48467

Ingredients

• 4-5 cups cooked chicken, cubed*
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 8 ounces softened cream cheese
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons fried onions (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13 pan with non-stick spray. Place chicken and broccoli in a large mixing bowl. I used raw broccoli; I like mine to be crunchy. If you like your broccoli to be soft, steam it in the microwave 2-3 minutes first.

Sautee onion in olive oil with salt and pepper. When onion is soft and slightly brown (about 3-5 minutes), add cream cheese to sautee pan. When cream cheese is melted, whisk in chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Allow to simmer for about a minute, or until sauce thickens slightly.

Add cream cheese and onion mixture to chicken and broccoli. Mix well. Add 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese and mix again. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread evenly in baking pan. Add remaining 3/4 cup cheese and fried onions on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling.
