Low Carb Chicken Casserole
Description
This recipe starts with chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked in a skillet, then shredded. Steamed broccoli florets are combined with the shredded chicken in a bowl alongside sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dried parsley, and Italian seasoning. The mixture is stirred to blend flavors and textures evenly.
The combined mixture is spread into a baking dish and topped with additional shredded cheese. Baking at 350°F melts the cheese and heats the dish through, resulting in a creamy, bubbly casserole with tender chicken and broccoli pieces. The garlic and Italian herbs add subtle savory notes without overpowering the simple flavor profile.
It can be served hot as a main dish for those following low carbohydrate diets and stores well as leftovers in the refrigerator for reheating. The use of sour cream adds richness and moisture while keeping the casserole relatively low in carbohydrates compared to starchy casseroles.
