CHICKEN BROCCOLI CHEESY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain broccoli. Chop up the broccoli into small bite size pieces splitting the larger pieces as you get toward the top of the crown.
• Warm the Shredded Chicken, I use mine straight out of the Crock pot. Mix chicken and the cream cheese until blended well. Does not have to have a perfect consistency. The cream cheese will melt in the oven. Put this in an 11 x 9 baking dish. Add some salt, pepper and garlic powder to the top.
• Next put the entire bowl chopped broccoli on top of the chicken. Spread them out evenly. Making sure to completely cover the chicken.
• In a sauce pan warm the cream of broccoli and a half of can of milk. If you follow the directions on the can you will make it too runny. So just use a half of a can of milk.
• Cover with the top with all of the Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 25- 35 mins or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown on the sides.
• ENJOY!

LOW-CARB CHEESY CHICKEN BROCCOLI AND "RICE" CASSEROLE

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.
