Print Recipe
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • olive oil
  • 1 10-oz. bag frozen chopped broccoli still frozen
  • 2 cups boneless skinless chicken breast chopped, cooked
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots grated
  • 1 cup shredded low fat Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Cook chicken.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a casserole dish with olive oil.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil; add broccoli and watch for the water to return to a boil then strain immediately (or broccoli will become mushy when baked!); set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine next 10 ingredients (chicken through Mozzarella cheese); stir in half and half and broth then transfer mixture to a lightly-oiled casserole dish.
  • Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Allow casserole to sit for 10 minutes then serve and enjoy!
