Creamy Chicken Broccoli and Cheese Casserole {Low-carb/Keto Friendly!}
Description
The Creamy Chicken Broccoli and Cheese Casserole features bite-sized pieces of golden-browned chicken nestled with broccoli florets. The broccoli maintains some firmness after baking, providing a fresh contrast to the rich and creamy Parmesan sauce. As the casserole finishes baking, mozzarella cheese melts and turns slightly golden, adding a stretchy, cheesy topping. The garlic salt in the sauce highlights the savory depth without overpowering the dish.
Baked in an oven-safe skillet, this casserole is a comfort meal that requires minimal preparation. After a brief baking time to meld the flavors and soften the broccoli, it’s ready to serve while the cheese topping is warm and melted, making a hearty option suitable for dinner or lunch.
