Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

8 ounces neufchatel cheese
1/3 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
14 1/2 ounces low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
1 cup mushroom (chopped)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
6 chicken breasts (grilled, sauteed, boiled, or microwaved)
3 cups broccoli florets (steamed)
3 cups cauliflower (riced and cooked)
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend (shredded)

Steps:

Cook the chicken breasts (we prefer to grill or saute ours, but we often boil or microwave them if we're running late), seasoned to taste (we like salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper), and dice.
Steam broccoli florets.
Cook riced cauliflower.
Melt neufchatel cheese in a pot on medium heat with half of the chicken broth, chicken bouillon, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Boil the mushrooms in a saute pan in the rest of the chicken broth until cooked and strain the mushrooms, saving the liquid.
Whisk the Greek yogurt into the cream cheese mixture and warm.
Pour the mushroom flavored chicken broth into the cheese mixture and whisk until smooth (you may include the mushrooms in the casserole, but if your kids are picky like ours, you may opt to leave them out).
Layer the casserole in a 9x13 baking dish in the following order (from bottom to top): cauliflower rice, diced chicken, steamed broccoli, cheese sauce (poured evenly over the top), shredded cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Tips:

Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant flavor and a better texture than frozen broccoli.
Don't overcook the broccoli. Overcooked broccoli is mushy and bland. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp.
Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. This casserole is a great base recipe, but you can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your taste.
Serve the casserole immediately. This casserole is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the broccoli will absorb the liquid and the casserole will become less creamy.

Conclusion:

This cheesy broccoli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The casserole is low in carbs and high in protein, making it a healthy and satisfying meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give this cheesy broccoli casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
