Low Carb Recipe: Baked Chicken and Broccoli casserole


INGREDIENTS FOR BROCCOLI CHICKEN CASSEROLE RECIPE:

2 large chicken breasts cut into bit size pieces.- seasoned and fried
2 broccoli heads, cut into small florets
1 tsp McCormick Roasted garlic and Herb seasoning
1tsp. McCormick Montreal Chicken seasoning
1/4 cup chicken stock
4 oz cream cheese
 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
4 ounces of baby spinach
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces white mushrooms- sliced
1 small yellow onion- sliced
Salt and pepper to taste


How to make: 

Season chicken breasts with the seasonings above and fry in a little oil until almost cooked through. Set aside for 10 minutes and then cut into small bite size pieces.

Add broccoli seasoning and broth to a pan, cover with lid and cook for 7 minutes. You want the broccoli to start cooking but to still be firm. Remove the broccoli from pan and add mushrooms, onions and a little oil. Cook uncovered until they start to turn a little brown. Add spinach and stir until spinach is wilted. Add the broccoli and chicken to the pan. 

 Then combine cream cheese, colby jack and heavy cream in another pan and cook over medium heat until melted and combined and pour over chicken. There might be a little liquid in the bottom of the pan but that's ok and will be absorbed when you put the leftovers away or you can just spoon a little over your portion.

Cover pan and put in the oven at 375ºF for 20 minutes.

I know my picture is awful but it was really good.
