Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what to get in order to make this keto friendly casserole.
- Broccoli florets – You can get full heads of broccoli, broccoli florets, or potentially frozen florets (thawed and drained of excess moisture). Just make sure to chop them into bite sized pieces.
- Chicken breast – Chop the chicken into small, roughly equal pieces.
- Seasonings – Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Olive oil – You can use a different light tasting oil if you prefer.
- Keto Alfredo Sauce – You can follow our recipe for keto alfredo sauce or use your favorite brand. If you use a canned sauce the consistency may be different. Make sure you watch the carb count!
- Shredded mozzarella cheese – You can shred your own if you prefer. If you want to shred your own, it helps to freeze the fresh cheese for about 15 minutes first.
Instructions
To make this, follow these easy instructions.
Step 1 – Prepare the chicken. To start, cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. We find using poultry shears makes this easier but a sharp knife works too. Next, sprinkle the cubes with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the olive oil and the cubed chicken into a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook for approximately 10 minute or until chicken is cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
Step 2 – Prepare the alfredo sauce. When the chicken is ready, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small pot, heat the keto alfredo sauce over medium low heat. When it is hot, add 3 ounces of mozzarella cheese to the sauce and stir until it is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 3 – Assemble the casserole and bake. Prepare a 13×9 inch casserole dish by spraying it with non-stick spray and then spread ½ cup of keto alfredo sauce on the bottom.
Next, add half of the broccoli to the dish making a layer of it on the bottom.
Top the broccoli with half of the cooked chicken. You can let the chicken fill in the spaces between the broccoli to fill the dish.
Pour ¾ cup of keto alfredo sauce over the broccoli and chicken and then prinkle 4.5 ounces of mozzarella on top.
Repeat these steps, using the remaining broccoli and chicken to make a layer, followed by the remaining keto alfredo sauce, and top with the last of the mozzarella cheese.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the casserole is warmed through and the cheese is fully melted. Serve warm and enjoy!
Can I Use Frozen Broccoli?
Yes, defrost broccoli in a microwave or overnight in the fridge. It does not need to be hot and we recommend removing any excessive moisture. When thawed, chop it up and add the broccoli as instructed.
How to Store It
Allow the casserole to cool completely. Once cooled, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to about 4 to 5 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes or until it is heated through.
If you prefer, you can warm up an individual portion in the microwave. To do this, cook on high in a microwave safe bowl for about 2 to 3 minutes or until warmed through.
We don’t recommend freezing this dish because Alfredo sauce tends to separate when frozen.
