This Cheddar Broccoli Chicken Casserole a very filling, classically flavored low carb meal. Is put together in about 10 minutes, pop it in the oven and dinner is ready an hour later. Makes great leftovers too!
Everyone loves a good casserole and this classically flavored, low carb cheddar broccoli chicken casserole recipe is one you can add to your list of GOOD ones.
I love this recipe because it comes together so fast and easy.ÂIf you use a good, sharp cheddar, you can’t even tell that this recipe uses cauliflower. The parmesan and cheddar override the cauliflower flavor almost completely. (related: hello chicken parmesan)
Word of caution: this casserole really retains its heat. This is SUPER hot out of the oven, so allow some time for it too cool before you serve it. Particularly if you are serving it to kids. It’s pretty toasty even by adult standards. So don’t burn yourself!
Also note that the time this takes to cook can vary by oven. So please use a meat thermometer to check and see if the chicken is completely cooked. They are small pieces, so they should cook pretty evenly. But it’s always safest to check.
The leftovers the next day are pretty tasty too!

Using fresh or frozen ingredients
Using fresh or frozen work with this recipe.
If you purchase your chicken frozen or it’s sitting in the freezer you only need to thaw it enough to be able to cut it. (slightly frozen chicken is always easier to cut anyway!).
You can use frozen items for almost all of the ingredients, have this put together in about 5 to 10 minutes, pop it in the oven and dinner is ready an hour later. (related: Keto ingredients you wouldn’t expect you can freeze)
Not a bad way to get dinner on the table on a busy evening.

Looks delicious! I’d love to make it, but I was wondering where the bacon is and how much you used? I found this recipe on Pinterest listed as bacon chicken casserole, which is also what the bottom picture shows. Could you please clarify if this is that recipe. Thanks!

Amanda – I couldn’t say what somebody else labeled their pins as. There is no bacon in this. But I’m sure you could add some.
