Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will work well.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables. They add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve the casserole immediately. It's best when it's hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Low-carb cheesy chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy low-carb meal, give this casserole a try.
