Some nights I get home after a long day of child wrangling, open up the refrigerator and just stare at everything I have in there until I am struck with inspiration. That’s exactly how this Low Carb Jalapeno Chicken and Broccoli Casserole was created. I wanted something low carb and easy to make. I had chicken thawed and I had just bought a head of broccoli at the store. The cream cheese just seemed like the right answer.

I diced up the jalapeno, added the cream cheese and some heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Then I stirred everything together until I had whipped up a creamy jalapeno cheese spread that was packed full of flavor. To the jalapeno cream cheese I added cubed chicken and folded everything together until the chicken was good and cheesy. I spread the chicken cream cheese mixture into a greased baking dish and nestled broccoli florets into the chicken. Then I topped it all off with some grated Parmesan and mozzarella, covered it with foil and popped it in the oven at 400°F for 30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes I pulled off the foil and let it bake uncovered so the cheese bubbled and browned.

We love spice in my family but I seeded the jalapeno before dicing it so it wasn’t too spicy. I absolutely loved it. That creamy cheese went perfectly with the chicken and the broccoli and I didn’t even miss having rice on the side.
