1.5 pounds cooked chicken, cubed (choose from breasts, tenderloins, or thighs)
1 pound broccoli, steamed and drained (either fresh or frozen)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces sour cream
4 ounces mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of Monterey Jack and mozzarella)
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons bacon crumbles (freshly cooked or pre-packaged)
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ tablespoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon dried dill weed (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F to ensure it's hot and ready for the casserole.
Create the creamy base: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, and all spices until smooth.
Combine the ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, three-quarters of the cheese, and a quarter of the bacon crumbles to the cream mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Prepare the baking dish: Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the casserole mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Add toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon crumbles over the top of the casserole to create a flavorful and cheesy crust.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Enjoy your meal prep with this easy and delicious casserole that brings comfort food to your keto diet without any guilt!
