Ingredients
5 cups broccoli florets
4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup ranch dressing
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until just tender, then drain well to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, broccoli, minced garlic, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing.
Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed and coated in the creamy sauce.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves preparation time.
Make sure the broccoli is well drained to prevent a watery casserole.
For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream, sour cream, or cream cheese to the mixture.
You can add sautéed onions or mushrooms for additional flavor while keeping the dish low carb.
