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.

LOW CARB CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into chunks.
• Sprinkle chicken with a bit of salt and pepper and cook in a skillet over medium/high heat with a bit of butter/olive oil (or your preferred oil) until no longer pink in the center.
• While the chicken is cooking, steam or cook broccoli according to package directions. I like to steam it and keep it slightly crisp. Put butter into the drained broccoli and salt it a bit.
• Put the buttered broccoli in the bottom of a 9 X 13 baking pan.
• Combine the cream of chicken & mushroom soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, the herbs and seasonings, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese into a bowl. Add the chunks of cooked chicken.
• Pour and spread chicken mixture on top of the broccoli, and top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese. Sprinkle lightly with curry powder. (it's easy to go overboard -- very lightly!).
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 40-45 minutes until hot and bubbly.
• Yum! Hope you enjoy this easy chicken casserole recipe.
