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.
Would you eat this?

I bet it's delicious, but we just couldn't do the whipping cream and cream cheese along with regular cheese. We just don't eat much fat at our house.
ReplyDeleteThe cheese sauce was really good.
DeleteI am a vegetarian so would leave the chicken out, and like Alex would probably limit the cheese/cream mixture, It sounds tasty though.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely. It could be done without the chicken.
DeleteIt looks good :)
