Cheesy Chicken And Broccoli Casserole
This classic cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe is a low-carb, low-calorie, delicious yet nutritious dinner made simple.
A couple of weeks ago I asked for chicken recipe suggestions on my Facebook page because my kids told me they were sick of what I was making. #momlifebelike Wow did you all show up. I have been slowly going through the recipes and honing in on the ones my family likes to make them nutritious, delicious, and simple.
This cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole recipe is a spin-off of this chicken divan recipe that was shared by Katie Heil (thank you Katie!).
When making the chicken you can add salt and pepper as desired and keep in mind that if you use organic cream of chicken soup it will be less salty. Also, a quick dinner prep hack is to buy the broccoli florets frozen in a microwaveable bag. I buy mine in bulk from Costco. I pop the bag into the microwave to steam the broccoli and then chop the broccoli after it is steamed so the pieces aren’t quite so large.
I also remember eating a version of this dish as a kid, and I was thrilled to see my kids love it too. This particular version is low calorie and low carb but super nutritious and delicious.
Bon appetit!
