Ingredients & What You’ll Need

Gather these low-carb staples to create a filling casserole that the whole family will enjoy.

• Broccoli: provides a healthy, low-carb crunch and essential fiber to the dish.
• Cooked chicken breast: serves as the lean protein base; you can use diced breast or shredded rotisserie chicken.
• Low sugar alfredo sauce: acts as the creamy, savory foundation for the bake.
• Almond milk: thins the sauce slightly to ensure an even coating over the chicken and vegetables.
• Mozzarella cheese: creates a melty, golden-brown topping.
• Avocado oil: used for sautéing the broccoli to achieve a tender texture.
• Onion and garlic powder: offer optional aromatic depth to customize the flavor profile.

How to Make Keto Chicken Alfredo Broccoli Bake

This one-pan start ensures the broccoli is perfectly tender before it heads into the oven.

1. Sauté the Broccoli

First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Next, add avocado oil to a large sauté pan and toss in the broccoli. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper as they cook. While you wait for the broccoli to become half-cooked, prepare your casserole dish.

2. Combine the Sauce

After the broccoli softens, add the cooked chicken, alfredo sauce, and almond milk to the pan. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined. Furthermore, you can add onion and garlic powder at this stage for extra flavor.

3. Bake Until Golden

Once the sauce is hot, transfer the chicken alfredo mixture into your casserole dish. Spread it evenly and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Then, bake the dish for about 15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Therefore, you can have a gourmet-style meal ready in under half an hour.

Tips and Notes

• Chicken Choice: Rotisserie chicken works exceptionally well here to save time on busy evenings.
• Broccoli Texture: Ensure you only cook the broccoli halfway in the pan so it maintains some bite after baking.
• Sauce Prep: You should check the label on your alfredo sauce to confirm it contains no added sugars.
• Vegetable Substitutions: Frozen broccoli is a fine alternative if fresh is unavailable, though you should thaw and drain it first.
