 My mother and aunt both recommended this for watching carbs, and both Scott and I thought it was pretty tasty! See the original recipe here: https://thatlowcarblife.com/keto-chicken-broccoli-casserole/

Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Ingredients

• 20 ounces fresh broccoli florets (I used a bag of frozen broccoli)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cooked, chopped chicken (I used two large cans of chicken)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add the broccoli to a large microwave safe bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 2 minutes. (If using frozen, then you want to basically prepare it according to the package directions... maybe for a minute or two less than it says because broccoli will continue to cook in the oven so it just depends on your desired level of doneness.)
3. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and drain the liquid.
4. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and mix well to combine.
5. Stir the cream cheese mixture and chicken into the steamed broccoli until well combined.
6. Transfer broccoli to a 9x13 baking dish and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
