How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Keto Chicken Alfredo Broccoli Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial to ensure even baking!
- If you’re using fresh broccoli, give it a quick blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to make it tender, then drain it. If you’re going the frozen route, just thaw and drain any excess water. Easy peasy!
- In a large mixing bowl, bring together the shredded chicken, broccoli florets, heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and season it all with salt and pepper. Mix it really well until everything is nicely coated. This is where the magic starts!
- Grease your baking dish or cast-iron skillet with olive oil to keep this tasty bake from sticking.
- Pour that delicious chicken and broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly so every bit gets that yummy heat.
- For that extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle some more mozzarella on top. Because why not?
- Pop it in the preheated oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point!
- Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before digging in.
- If you like a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped parsley before serving. It adds a lovely pop of color!
- Serve it hot, and get ready to enjoy each cheesy, creamy bite!
