Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Adds richness and flavor; use Kerrygold for best results.
  • 2 cups Broccoli florets Provides vibrant color and crunch; substitute with cauliflower for a creamier texture.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Offers aromatic depth; fresh garlic is recommended for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Creates a silky sauce base; can be replaced with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Key for a gooey, melty texture; shred fresh rather than using pre-packaged for optimal results.
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Enhances the cheesiness of the dish; optional but recommended for extra flavor.
  • 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken Provides lean protein; use rotisserie chicken for convenience or pre-cook your own to ensure moisture.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Additional Mozzarella Create that bubbling, golden crust on top; don't skimp—more is better!
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust according to your taste for a personalized flavor.

Equipment

  • 10-inch ovenproof skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Chicken Broccoli Casserole
  1. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add fresh broccoli florets and cook for about 4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy whipping cream and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Once the cream has thickened, stir in shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to elevate the flavors.
  4. Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet and gently mix into the creamy cheese sauce. Fold in the cooked shredded chicken, ensuring every piece gets coated with the rich sauce.
  5. Spread the remaining mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the casserole mixture. Place under the broiler in the oven until it bubbles and turns golden brown, about 2-5 minutes.
