Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken (lean, shredded)
- 2 cups Fresh Broccoli (steamed)
Dairy & Seasoning
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (can substitute with cheddar or Gouda)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or fresh garlic)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Combine Chicken and Broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the shredded cooked chicken and steamed broccoli until well mixed.
- Add Alfredo Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly, then transfer the chicken and broccoli mixture into it, spreading evenly across the bottom for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top turns a golden brown hue.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and to make handling easier.
Notes
- Steaming broccoli before mixing ensures it becomes tender but retains a slight crunch, preserving texture in the bake.
- Mozzarella cheese can be substituted with cheddar or Gouda based on your flavor preference.
- For added flavor, fresh garlic may be used in place of garlic powder.
- This dish is keto-friendly and low-carb, ideal for those following ketogenic or low-carb diets.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Make sure to shred the chicken finely to allow better sauce absorption and uniform baking.
